Are you struggling to have a great sex life now that you’re a mom?

As women, we wear so many hats and have so many identities. We’re wives, girlfriends, daughters, sisters, friends, and mothers. But what happens when these identities feel like they’re in conflict with one another?

A whopping 91% of our Instagram followers said their sex life got harder after kids. We heard things like, “It’s hard to feel confident in my new body,” “Everyone always needs something, and I’m tired of giving,” and, “I’m just EXHAUSTED!”

In this episode, we’re here to give you practical tips to creating the sex life you deserve!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to talk to your partner about hot-button issues like mental load and being touched out
  • The connection between emotional and physical intimacy
  • How to reconnect with yourself – even if you feel like a stranger to yourself, or a shell of your formerly vibrant self.
