What happened down there? I’m back with Nancy Elizabeth on the Person, Partner, Parent Podcast discussing some of what might be lingering for a woman after pregnancy. How our hormones can have further implications on our desire and comfort during intimacy postpartum. How to honor your inner wisdom and be gentle with yourself.

Feeling tired? Feeling unsexy after a day of playdough and perpetual snack serving? We discuss getting creative with foreplay, connecting to each other, and connecting to ourselves in order to shift between the aspects of our lives and feel ready to connect physically.

I joined Nancy Elizabeth on her podcast, Person Partner Parent to discuss sex through the lens of being an individual person, a partner in a relationship, and as a parent. Discovering our own sexuality and what intimacy looks like to each of us. What is success for you? Orgasm? Pleasure? Connection?

We go over talking to your partner about intimacy. We talk further about what be causing or what pain during sex might feel like, and how pelvic floor therapists can assist in endometriosis.

I chat with Kianna Scott of EndoArmy all about pelvic floor, endometriosis and intimacy.

I join Ali and Karly on the Birth Kweens Podcast for part two of our discussion! If you didn’t catch last week’s episode about postpartum sex and intimacy, click here. This week’s episode is all about the vadge gadge! That is, all of the different kinds of tools that can be used to help heal postpartum and promote a fulfilling sex life. I review what’s going on anatomically in the pelvic floor and why dysfunction can exist, especially after pregnancy and birth. In the vadge gadge department, I share about yoni eggs, kegel apps (such as kGoal and Elvie), vibrators, vaginal moisturizers, lube (such as Good Clean Love and Slippery Stuff), vaginal dilators, pelvic wands, and pessaries.

I join Ali and Karly on the Birth Kweens Podcast to talk about postpartum sex and intimacy. Many people struggle with sexual fulfillment and intimacy during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I share some insight on how to work through these challenges and offer a free guide to help start a conversation with your partner.

If you are struggling with pain during sex, know that you are NOT crazy and any provider that tells you to “just have a glass of wine and relax,” is likely not going to be a good fit for you and your healing journey.

Know that with the right team of providers to support you, you can and will heal. In the mean-time, have patience and kindness with yourself.

Give yourself permission to opt-out of any sexual activity that does not make you feel good and focus your energy on connecting with yourself and your partner in a pain-free way (cuddling, kissing, maybe just touching or external stimulation).
