In this episode of the Sex After Kids Podcast, we explore one of the most tender and often unspoken transitions parents face: grieving your pre-kids sexual self. Whether your relationship with sex was neutral, fraught, or thriving before kids, the shifts that come after can feel disorienting — and sometimes heartbreaking.
Join me as we talk about:

  • Why your sexual identity changes after kids (and why it’s totally normal)
  • The four types of changes that impact post-kid sexuality: physical, emotional, cultural, and spiritual
  • How body changes, emotional shifts, and cultural narratives can sabotage your sense of sexuality — and how to fight back with curiosity and compassion
  • Why holding tightly to your "old self" can cause more pain than the changes themselves
  • A powerful somatic meditation to reconnect with the emerging version of your sexual self

If you're feeling frustrated, sad, or just lost when it comes to intimacy after becoming a parent — this episode is for you.
(And it comes with a mini-practice you can try today.)
