Chances are that your sex life changed drastically after you had a child. But today’s podcast guest, sex coach Sofia Ashley, tells us that it doesn’t have to be a desert out there. We CAN rekindle our sex lives and have mindful, empowered sexual experiences after kids. It just takes a little attention and love.

Takeaways:

Self-love is self-care! Boosts the immune system and mental health.
Mindfulness is a big part of coming back to our bodies & sexuality post-partum.
Do it for you. Resentment can build if you’re doing it “for him” or “for the relationship".
