More Than Just Sex: Reclaiming Intimacy, Desire & Self in Motherhood

Description

Let’s talk about the thing so many of us aren’t talking about: intimacy after motherhood. This week, I’m joined by somatic sexologist Serena Haines for an honest, eye-opening conversation about what happens to our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of self when we become moms.

We go deep on:
– What intimacy actually looks like (hint: it’s not just about sex)
– How to reconnect with your partner when you’re touched-out and drowning in motherhood
– Why so many women feel shut down sexually & how to gently wake that part of you back up
– Serena’s game-changing “5-minute rule” and the power of a 6-second kiss (hello, oxytocin!)

We also explore the emotional load of motherhood, how it impacts identity and desire, and what it really means to feel at home in your body again. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, curious, or just craving more real talk—this one’s for you.

Because reclaiming intimacy is not just about sex—it’s about coming home to you.

PS. Don’t forget, you are doing amazing <3
