About this book

A bold manifesto to reclaim your desires, reignite intimacy, and celebrate the sacred power of midlife sexuality—unapologetically. Step aside, stereotypes! Midlife is not a time to fade into the background. In Quickies, Dr. Heather Bartos, OB/GYN, renowned menopause specialist, and Oprah-approved women's health advocate, delivers a witty, wise, and unapologetically bold roadmap for reclaiming sensuality, confidence, and self-love in midlife. Packed with 100 empowering, bite-sized lessons, Quickies challenges outdated notions about aging and intimacy. From practical advice on navigating hormonal shifts to cheeky tips for spicing things up in the bedroom (or anywhere else), this groundbreaking guide invites women to embrace their evolving identities with curiosity, courage, and joy. Whether you're reigniting your spark or discovering it for the first time, Dr. Bartos's compassionate and laugh-out-loud voice makes the journey a delight. Dr. Bartos's expertise isn't just clinical–it's deeply personal. Drawing on years of experience as a top OB/GYN and certified menopause specialist, she offers medical insights with a human touch. A certified reiki practitioner, she also bridges the worlds of science and spirit, encouraging women to connect with their bodies on every level. And with a surprise foreword that's sure to make readers smile, Quickies delivers not just education, but celebration. Empress Editions Publisher Alisa Kennedy Jones calls Dr. Bartos's work "a revelation," adding, "Quickies is a love letter to midlife women everywhere. It's an invitation to thrive, not just survive." Set for release on June 24th, 2025, on the heels of National Vagina Appreciation Day, this book is poised to redefine midlife and inspire a new wave of bold, beautiful living. Dr. Heather Bartos's expertise has been featured in The New York Times, O, The Oprah Magazine, and Good Housekeeping. Now, with Quickies, she's giving midlife women everywhere the tools to live sexily ever after.
