You’ve tried therapy. You’ve had the hard conversations. So why does your sex life still feel stuck?

If you feel like you’ve done everything “right” but still end up lying in bed feeling more like roommates than partners… this episode will help you understand why.

In this episode of the Sex After Kids podcast, we break down:

  • Why therapy doesn’t always fix intimacy
  • The real reason your sex life still feels off (even if you’re trying)
  • Why intimacy isn’t automatic—and what actually needs to be learned
  • How to talk about sex without it turning into a fight
  • What to do when you feel too busy, disconnected, or unsure where to start

This isn’t about blaming you or your partner.

And it’s not about doing more.

It’s about understanding that intimacy is a skillset—and learning how to build it in a way that actually works in real life.

If you’ve been thinking:

  • “We’ve tried everything and nothing is working”
  • “I don’t know how to bring this up without making it worse”
  • “We feel more like roommates than a couple”
  • “Are we broken or is this just how it is after kids?”

…you are not alone—and there is a way forward.

If this feels familiar, the next step is to join one of the free workshops.

You’ll learn exactly how this process works, what to expect, and how to rebuild connection without pressure or awkwardness.
