How To Keep Your Sex Life Healthy After Kids Ft. Emmalee Bierly, LMFT

Aleen and Brittany are joined by Emmalee Bierly, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to talk all about sex with your partner after having kids. They start with a conversation about how you know you’re ready to start having sex after giving birth, not just physically but also emotionally. They talk about bringing the unconscious elements of your relationship into the open and having an honest conversation about how you’re feeling about sex. Emmalee shares some practical techniques for getting back in touch with your body and subtly communicating that you’re in the mood without having to literally schedule sex. They also talk about how to create a space for intimacy in a relationship, with some examples for getting on the same page with your partner, and why couples therapy is valuable even in a healthy relationship. Finally, they close the show with some listener-submitted questions about sex after having kids, and not allowing the baby-making process such a transactional experience.
