Natty Frasca 114 episodes Latest May 29, 2026

The podcast for women in their 40s and 50s who are done performing and ready to start living — boldly, unapologetically, and completely on their own terms. Hosted by Natty Frasca, transformational coach and rebel rouser, this is where midlife women reclaim their feminine power, pleasure, and purpose — and burn down everything that's been keeping them small. If you've checked all the boxes and still feel like something's missing — you're not broken. You're ready for your rebellion. Pleasure activism, feminine power, embodiment, raw truth, and unapologetic living are the themes.
