If you feel touched out, exhausted, and completely shut down by the end of the day… this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Sx After Kids Podcast, we’re talking about why so many moms and lower-libido partners stop wanting sx after kids — and why it’s often NOT actually a libido problem.

We’re unpacking:

  • Why desire disappears after kids
  • The “over-needed” nervous system
  • Why pressure kills intimacy
  • How parenting overload impacts s*x drive
  • The hidden ways people avoid intimacy without realizing it
  • Why feeling touched out changes how your body responds to connection
  • The emotional labour and mental load behind “low libido”
  • Why s*x can start feeling like another demand
  • The connection between boundaries, exhaustion, resentment, and desire
  • How to stop feeling broken in your marriage after kids

If you’ve ever thought:

“I love my partner, but I just don’t want s*x.”

“I feel touched out.”

“Every conversation about intimacy turns into a fight.”

“I’m exhausted and disconnected.”

…you are not alone.

This conversation is honest, grounded, and designed to help couples understand what’s actually happening beneath the pressure/shutdown cycle after kids.
