There’s a lot of stress in parenthood that presses on the couple’s relationship, which Emily and I know firsthand as parents to 6 children. And I know that maintaining intimacy and being lovers while also being parents is a challenge many of us face, which is why I’m so interested in this topic today.
And I had so much fun recording this episode with my guest, Sofia Ashley. She’s a hoot! Sofia has been a sex coach for 10 years and has a program called “Sex After Kids” and she’s the founder of The Happy Vagina Project.
In this episode we discuss how to have a party your libido would like to show up to and the importance of nervous system regulation, effective communication, and emotional support (over depending on outside things like toys or lingerie). You’ll get to hear her strategies for transitioning from being a busy mom to a hot wife. And be sure to stay to the end to hear her black belt sex tip!
