Summary
In this solo episode, I dive into how we have navigated sex as parents both during pregnancy and postpartum. I discuss why it’s completely normal not to feel ready for sex after the six week postpartum check-up, how my relationship with my post-baby body affected my sensuality, and why it’s so challenging shifting from mom mode to sexual mode. I also get into why communication between partners is crucial during post-baby sex, which tools have been useful for reclaiming my sexuality post-baby, and the importance of making sex a priority when it feels right. Finally, I share listener experiences about sex as parents, and how some of you are having the best sex of your lives as parents now.

| 0:02.9 | Okay, I just full blown fucking broke their couch, sat down and just |
| 0:08.1 | kerplot, everything fell. But welcome to another solo episode. |
| 0:14.0 | This one is one that I've been promising for a while now |
| 0:18.1 | and have kept saying that I'm going to talk about. And it's a conversation I've been having |
| 0:22.5 | with friends all the time and a lot of you in my DM. So let's talk about sex, baby. |
| 0:30.4 | Specifically sex as parents, because it's a whole new fucking ballgame. |

| 2:09.1 | So growing up, sex was just like a topic of discussion. And I had sex at a young age for the first |
| 2:17.3 | time, an age that I hope our eventual children are not having sex at, but that's a different story |
