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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
