Why playing by the rules of consent can reset your sex life after kids

What if the hottest thing you could bring into the bedroom… was a question? 

In this episode of the Sex After Kids Podcast, we’re talking about consent—not the swipe-right kind, but the long-term, tired-parents, messy-realities kind. Consent isn’t just about saying “yes” or “no.” It’s how we build trust, support nervous systems, and create sex that feels good for both of you. 

We cover: 
 • What consent really means in a long-term relationship 
 • How it breaks down quietly after kids 
 • How to reframe consent as sexy not stiff
 • Real-life examples of unintentional violations—and what to do instead 
 • 3 low-pressure consent resets you can try this week 

✨ If you’ve ever felt pressured, disconnected, or unsure what's okay—this one’s for you.
