The KellFire Show

Trauma doesn't just live in memory — it lives in the body. Carla Wainwright joins Dr. Kelly Barron to explain why unresolved trauma so often resurfaces during perimenopause, the hormonal biology behind it, and how women can use metabolic health, nervous system regulation, and pleasure to heal and step into the most vibrant version of themselves.
Together they discuss:
Why perimenopause symptoms can mimic trauma responses in the body
The estrogen–stress connection and what a "lowered stress threshold" actually means
Physical and emotional signs of unresolved trauma
Carla's "sacred metabolism" framework — physical and energetic
Blood sugar, sleep, and circadian rhythm as trauma-informed metabolic tools
Pleasure as a nervous system regulator, not a luxury
How this transition affects marriages and long-term relationships
Why midlife can be a portal to healing rather than a breakdown
Content note: this episode discusses sexual and physical assault.

Female desire isn't a luxury—and sexual wellness doesn't stop mattering because a woman enters midlife.
Dr. Kelly Barron welcomes Eva Angeloff, founder of Women’s Lib, for a candid conversation about female libido, pleasure, perimenopause, relationships, sexual shame, supplements, and the experience of becoming more yourself as you age.
Eva shares how changes in her own desire, energy, and body as she entered perimenopause ultimately inspired her to create Women’s Lib. The conversation moves beyond the bedroom to explore something larger: what can happen when women give themselves permission to pursue pleasure, receive, experiment, and pay attention to what their bodies are telling them.
Kelly and Eva talk candidly about why women’s sexual wellness has remained outside so many mainstream health conversations—and why that needs to change.
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the conversation?
Pleasure isn't frivolous. And female desire isn't something women should have to whisper about.
Sexual health is health.
 
 
Together they discuss:
► Why women deserve to be curious about their bodies
► Why libido is far more complicated than simply “wanting sex”
► Why women deserve to be curious about their bodies
► Pleasure, joy, curiosity, and aging
► Hormones, energy, blood flow, and sexual response
► Receiving versus constantly giving
🔥 ABOUT THE KELLFIRE SHOW
The KellFire Show explores the conversations women are often told are too personal, too uncomfortable, or too taboo—from menopause and sexuality to relationships, identity, aging, pleasure, and what it means to become more yourself as you get older.
About Eva
Eva Angeloff is the Founder of Women’s Lib, a modern women’s health company addressing one of the most common, and least effectively supported, areas of wellness: female desire.
Eva founded Women’s Lib to address this gap with a science-backed, plant-based formulation designed to support the biological systems behind desire: hormones, blood flow, and the nervous system. Built with advanced delivery technology for enhanced absorption, the product is designed to work with the body to restore energy, responsiveness, and connection.
Her focus is on building Women’s Lib into a category-defining platform that supports how women actually feel in their bodies, and creates space for a more open, modern dialogue around desire, energy, and wellbeing.
