About this listen

Lack of Sex Due to Exhaustion

  • The sheer exhaustion of newborn life—night feeds, endless diaper changes
  • Feeling like you give everything to your baby and have nothing left for yourself or your partner
  • The guilt of saying “not tonight” but also needing rest
  • Understanding that intimacy isn't just sex—it’s small moments of connection too

Finding Time for Yourself

  • Realizing that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary
  • You can’t pour from an empty cup; self-care makes you a better partner and mom
  • Finding small ways to reconnect with yourself—exercise, getting dressed up, a solo coffee run
  • When you feel good, intimacy comes more naturally

The Reality Now: Quickies Over Marathons

  • Sex looks different now, and that’s okay!
  • Quickies are a win—efficient and still a way to connect
