You asked, “How are you doing?” And I’m answering… with a little ramble, a lot of honesty, and maybe a few mentions of ravens, train whistles, and the wild joy of wind through the trees.

In this first part of a two-part heart-to-heart, I’m reflecting on what it means to hold onto beauty and presence in an uncertain world.

Between the doomscrolling and the headlines, there are still moments of peace, connection, and unexpected delight—and I’m sharing the ones I’m clinging to.

If you’ve been stuck between hope and heaviness, sit with me for a bit. It’s okay to be soft right now. It’s OK to feel it all.

And if this lands with you, I’d love to work with you one-on-one. My Spring Special is still on! Book a 30-minute session for half off during April and May: https://stan.store/the_sarah_valentine

When one partner’s sex drive slows down, how do you lovingly reignite the spark without pressure or resentment? In this episode of Here Comes Sunshine, I’m answering a heartfelt question from a follower about mismatched desire in long-term relationships. As a woman in my 50s—and someone who coaches men and couples through this exact issue—I’m sharing why so many women become less sexually responsive over time, what health and hormonal changes may be at play, and how to shift the energy in your relationship through emotional attunement and small, nurturing actions.

If you’re feeling lonely, confused, or frustrated by a lack of intimacy, this episode is full of encouragement and real strategies you can use.
