Finding a New Sexual Self After Kids

"We used to have A LOT of sex," she said " I used to feel so good about sex, I felt confident and really identified as a sexual person. Since my kiddo was born I don't think about sex, I don't crave sex, it's not even on the to do list - I feel lost."

This mom was sharing with me about how her sexual identity - how she viewed herself as a sexual being - changed after kiddos - and it was wreaking havoc on her sex life.

Parenthood changes everything — including your relationship to your own body, your sexuality, and your sense of self. Maybe your relationship to this part of you was neutral before kids, maybe fraught ( like me), or maybe it was rock solid - a shift in either of those

In this week’s episode of the Sex After Kids Podcast, we’re talking about:

  • Why losing your pre-kids sexual self can feel so painful (even if you “knew” things would change)

  • The 4 hidden forces that shape your sexuality after becoming a parent

  • Why it’s not the changes themselves that hurt the most — it’s the judgment of those changes

  • A powerful guided practice to help you reconnect with the part of you that's ready to emerge

If you’ve been mourning the way things used to be...
If you’ve felt lost, disconnected, or stuck...
If you’re ready to move forward with more love and curiosity (instead of shame)...

And if this episode hits home, I'd love to hear from you — just reply and tell me what came up for you.

You’re not broken, my friend. You're becoming. 💛
