Kaila and I  talk about all the ups and down's that come with the changes of kids + small babies in particular.   Parent Tell shared:  "Azaria highlights the importance of honouring your body's wants and needs, whatever they may be, while getting creative with what it means to be intimate with your partner. Because yes, since you've become a parent you are short on time, patience, energy, you name it. But that doesn't mean that your love life should suck."  - True dat. Whether  you just gave birth, are about to, have a small child or even curious about all my funny stories.... tune in. I promise you.. you'll leave with a lot of gems some that will change the way you view sex after having a baby, some that will definitely make the journey easier and some that will inspire you to feel empowered and bad ass! Be sure to follow the podcast on Instagram  of Parent Tell !  You can also find the episode here on their platform https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-parent-tell-74761269/episode/the-roller-coaster-that-is-sex-85652264/xo The Pussy FairyIf you want to create deeper intimacy NOW, go grab the 14 days to hotter intimacy E-bookCome find me in the Getting intimate Facebook group!   Subscribe to my email list for a juicy gift at  https://www.azariamenezes.com/your-pussy-is-a-portal-to-healing  or come find me on Instagram @azaria.menezes and say Hi.

Being intimate after having a baby can involve more than just physical healing. Fear of getting pregnant again, less sleep, body changes, low libido, and hormones play a role in resuming normal sexual activity. Dr. Welsh will discuss questions related to birth control options along with questions we might be hesitant to discuss with our doctor.

A few weeks ago I recorded an amazing episode on sex and intimacy after baby with The WTF Trimester creator, Chelsea Skaggs. And it seemed to hit a nerve, because I received tons of feedback from that episode! For some of you, learning how to communicate your needs to your partner in a way they would be able to hear you was just what you needed. But I also got some DMs from moms who are facing a different problem when it comes to sex in early parenthood…   Whether after the birth of a child, or a few years down the road, parents can sometimes feel themselves pulled in so many directions that at the end of the day, they find it difficult to have anything left to give. This can be especially true for postpartum mamas.   So this week's episode is filled with actionable strategies and mindset shifts that you can make if you are feeling touched out, overstimulated or anxious about intimacy. These can help you to feel connected to yourself so you are open to having a vulnerable and deep connection with your partner. This is an episode you won't want to miss!     Want to get more from Dr. Sarah Bren?  ✨ Follow Dr. Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsarahbren/ ✨ Subscribe to the weekly newsletter: https://drsarahbren.com/join-newsletter ✨ And check out her website for more free parenting resources: https://drsarahbren.com/resources

On today's episode of “The Language of Love,” I am doing another “Language of Love Bite.” That means I answer your questions and tackle the most common issues I hear during my work as a sex, love, and relationship expert. So what's today's Language of Love Bite all about? Sex after baby! How can you reclaim your sexual pleasure after you give birth? There are many issues which can arise after giving birth, even if you have a normal and healthy pregnancy and birth. Creating life takes a massive toll on a woman's body, from her hormones to her sleep to her stress levels. So it is no wonder that many people struggle to find their pleasure again in the bedroom if they have a newborn at home. This is especially true if you are breastfeeding. While breastfeeding is natural and wonderful, it also can do a number on a woman's hormones: In order to make breastmilk, women's bodies essentially have to shut off their estrogen, which can mimic what happens to the female body during menopause. Even if you don't breastfeed, it can still take a few months for your hormones to return to normal after you welcome a new baby into the world, as new moms have much lower estrogen in the following months after giving birth. Here is the good news: There are many things you can do to safeguard your sexual pleasure and enhance your intimacy, even if you have a little one at home and even if you're still breastfeeding. Listen to this Language of Love Bite to get all of my best advice for how new moms and dads can reclaim their sexual pleasure and learn how to enjoy sex again, even when they have a newborn and limited time and energy. Give this episode a listen and then let me know your thoughts!

Are you ready to prioritize your happiness and pleasure? In this episode, Debra shares the acronym P.L.E.A.S.U.R.E.S. and how these steps can deepen your connection to your body and sexuality. After birth, it is common for women to feel less sexy and desirable to themselves and others. Our birth story dramatically impacts how we think about ourselves, our self-esteem, our bodies, and our sexuality, so it becomes necessary to unpack and reflect on it. From there, we can take action, understand where we need healing, and embrace the new, sexy you! In this episode: Have a moment to pause, breathe, and turn your frown upside down to invite the feel-good hormones. Debra discusses her book, The Ultimate Guide to Sex After Baby, tackling how to navigate through relationships and sexuality. Talking about sex and pleasure with friends can help to build support networks. People feel less sexy after having a baby, which can impact their relationships and parenting. Many factors can contribute to this decrease in sexual desire, including a lack of education about healthy sexuality. To find balance in parenting, think about what words describe how you feel about being a parent. Daily rituals can help reduce stress and create happiness. One example is brushing your hair for an extra minute.   Key Takeaways: Always listen to your body and prioritize your safety and comfort Birth shouldn't strip away your dignity and sense of self Don't let anyone take your peace and pleasure away Parenting can be difficult, but there are resources available to help There is a lot to unpack when reflecting on your birth story Pregnancy is a time when healing is needed Talking about sexual abuse during pregnancy can be helpful Look in the mirror and see your beauty and appreciate your new body Write down what gives you pleasure   Tweetable Quotes: "All birthing bodies take time to heal after birth. And everyone heals and is ready for intimacy and sex at different times and in different waves. So always listen to your body, prioritize your safety and comfort." - Debra Pascali Bonaro   "Don't let those old beliefs or lack of knowledge take your pleasure away… Don't let anyone take your peace and pleasure away." - Debra Pascali Bonaro   "Birth is going to impact how we feel about ourselves, our bodies, our self-esteem. And so it's not just another day, I say it holds the secrets to how you feel about yourself, your body, and your sexuality." - Debra Pascali Bonaro Connect with Debra!

For many couples, the birth of a child can bring with it a shift in their intimate relationship. Having a child triggers such a sudden and massive transition to our identity, our body and sometimes even our sex drive, so it makes perfect sense that new parents can often find themselves on different pages when it comes to intimacy and sex.   And that is just one of the reasons I am so excited to talk about ways couples can rebuild connection and intimacy in their relationship with life coach and the creator of the WTF Trimester, Chelsea Skaggs.   It's not about where you've been, but about acknowledging where you are now and where you'd like to go. Chelsea will share some powerful suggestions and step-by-step guidance for working to get back your spark, combating some of the most common sources of postpartum sex anxiety, and working on your inner growth to help you feel more confident and assured in your own skin.     Want to get more from Dr. Sarah Bren?  ✨ Follow Dr. Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsarahbren/ ✨ Subscribe to the weekly newsletter: https://drsarahbren.com/join-newsletter ✨ And check out her website for more free parenting resources: https://drsarahbren.com/resources

Remember that sex after baby is different for everyone and the 6 week "mark" for returning to normal activities after having a baby doesn't necessitate you going right back to having sex if you aren't ready. In this episode we talk about a lot of different things that can come up for people in the postpartum period around sex, intimacy, body image, mindset, and more. We hope this helps to make the conversation around this topic a little less taboo and one that you can seek out help if you feel you need or want it. We are always her to support you and are always willing to get you information or resources if you need. Don't hesitate to reach out at talkbirthypodcast@gmail.com.

What are some of the struggles and realities of postpartum intimacy? How can couples continue to connect on a deep level after baby is born? What happens when a baby is born 2 months early? And how can we heal from the trauma of time in the NICU? We get into some fascinating topics about healing using movement and somatic therapy and connecting to others in a much deeper way. By paying attention to what is, dynamics are transformed. LEXI CHATARA-MIDDLETON LPC, R-DMT (she, her, hers) Lexi has spent most of her life using her body to express herself and helping others to do the same.  As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado and a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist, Lexi works with a foundational understanding that the mind and body are not separate, but inexorably linked.  And that exploring this connection in the present moment, both verbally and non-verbally, has healing and therapeutic effects. Lexi received her Master's degree from Naropa University in SomaticCounseling Psychology and spent many years working at Windhorse Community Services, Inc which provided her the opportunity to combine and develop her interests in neuroscience, therapeutic methodology, dance/movement, and mindfulness/awareness practices. The development of her therapeutic style was an organic process growing out of life experiences, graduate training, time spent working with individuals experiencing extreme states, and with parents who have struggled to process challenging birth experiences. Her own journey as a cis-gender woman and mother has ignited a passion to support others on their journey into parenthood. There is no other act that can make one feel as helpless, vulnerable, or powerful as that of starting down the path of parenthood.  Becoming a parent and birthing can happen in many different ways and for many it is not just a physical experience, but also a psycho/social/emotional one. Working in the birth and parenting world has taught Lexi many things, one of the most valuable being that we do not have control. We don't always have control over whether or not we can become pregnant, how we become parents, what type of birth we will have, or the impact it will have on our lives. What we can control and decide however, is when and how to get support. It is Lexi's belief that integrating the intensity of the birth experience or the path to parenthood can take time and effort and needs to be approached with the understanding that what happens in the body has an effect on the mind and what is present in the mind is held in the body.http://www.spaciousgroundcounseling.com/https://sagebirthandwellness.com/lexi/ Stay in the loop and join my monthly email list here: https://www.aidazea.com https://www.patreon.com/thymeinthestudiohttps://www.etsy.com/shop/AidaZeaArtshttps://www.instagram.com/thymeinthestudiopodcastwww.thymeinthestudio.comhttps://www.aidazea.commusic by @aa.travers   

"On this episode of “The Language of Love,” Dr. Laura Berman talks about Birth PTSD. This is a rarely discussed topic that impacts men and women alike. “Going through labor and delivery is a massive experience that can take a physical, emotional, and spiritual toll,” says Dr. Berman. “Even if you had a ‘normal' birth (using the word normal loosely, as all births are different and special in their own way), you might find that you are having a hard time getting back into sex. Once the doctor gives you the green light to have sex again, you might find that one or both of you are having a hard time getting back to your old sex life.” That's because, says Dr. Berman, your sex life likely won't ever be exactly the same…and that's okay. “Sex after childbirth is different, and that doesn't have to be a bad thing at all. On the contrary, many parents can find that their sex lives will deepen and improve over the years, but often times there is also a period of adjustment where one or both of you may struggle to get back into the saddle,” says Dr. Berman. “Men are often nervous or even frightened to have sex with their partners after they have given birth, especially if they witnessed their partner giving birth. They may be afraid of hurting their partner, and they may even fear that they won't be able to satisfy her.” Dr. Berman also says that new moms often struggle with feelings of discomfort or shame around their bodies after childbirth, especially if they had a difficult labor. “If you didn't feel respected or safe during labor, or you felt as though you ‘failed' in some way to deliver in the manner in which you hoped, you might no longer trust your body as you once did,” says Dr. Berman. “You might have feelings of resentment or anger about the way your birth was handled and you might be afraid to feel vulnerable or exposed after that experience.” Dr. Berman talks about therapy can help to heal trauma and what couples should do if they are struggling from birth PTSD.

This week is about sex (bayybee)! Kaila talks with sex, intimacy, and relationship coach Azaria Menezes about how a couple's bedroom relationship tends to down shift once a baby comes home to stay. Sure, you most likely had sex to make that precious baby a reality, but now you're telling me that we are supposed to feel intimate...again? With this new postpartum body I barely recognize and sure as hell don't feel comfortable in yet? With a temporarily napping baby who could wake up and ruin the mood any second? Not to mention the fact that most parents are touched out, burnt out, and just plain tired so any type of intimacy tends to fall to the very bottom of the To Do List. Pun very much intended.While breaking down the facts about what it means to be a parent and also a human being who wants to get down with the get down occasionally, Azaria highlights the importance of honoring your body's wants and needs, whatever they may be, while getting creative with what it means to be intimate with your partner. Because yes, since you've become a parent you are short on time, patience, energy, you name it. But that doesn't mean that your love life should suck.

Do you remember the Saturday Night Live skit about “Mom Jeans”? It pokes fun at “moms” and emphasizes that once someone becomes a mother they trade in the sexy body, cute clothes, and sense of self for a frumpy bodied person with poor fashion sense who is fully family focused. Why does society accept the deeply embedded belief that mothers can't be sexy?  This is one of my favorite episodes of Yoga | Birth | Babies which is why we are revisiting this important topic! I speak with award winning documentarian, author, world renowned speaker and acclaimed doula, Debra Pascali-Bonaro.  Debra and I have a fun and lively conversation about her book, The Ultimate Guide to Sex After Baby: Secrets to Love and Intimacy. Debra explains why so many people put sexuality and motherhood into two very different realms and how mother figures can reclaim their sexy wild woman. Debra offers amazing insight and advice for maintaining your connection to your partner and honoring your own personal needs.  Support Our Sponsors  Lovevery: Get free shipping when you sign up to receive your Play Kits at LoveEvery.com/YBB Osea: Try OSEA risk-free for 30 days and get free shipping on orders over $50.

We're all thinking it, how much sex is everyone having? Well, not everyone everyone, more like, everyone with young kids who have been together for a while and are, well, tired AF. How much sex? Cos we feel like people are lying and that it's the new insta-status to be boinking for Australia. So, is it a sign of the quality of your relationship and just when is the perfect time, amongst all the other things we don't have time for? We just wanna get into it, and by it, we mean the topic, not the actual sex thing. That's tiring. #notsponsored Kate @nleadbetter_photography virtual photo shoot Gem "Lava" by Pixar For more, join our Gram Fam @wedonthavetimeforthis or our brand new Facebook Group!

How can couples stay close after baby arrives? When should someone seek out sex therapy? Our favorite sex therapist, Mary Frank answers that question and more!

The transition from maiden to mother is highly under-ritualized and honored in our culture. We expect women to pop babies out and get on their way. And as long as the baby is healthy and alive, we’re expected to be ok with the outcome, even if the journey was traumatizing. In today’s episode, I share with you several ways you can reconnect and ritualize the transition from maiden to mother. I also share how birth brings up unconscious issues you had before giving birth and three common ways that I see women’s birth stories showing up in their sexuality.

In this can't-miss episode sex therapist Heather Simonson sits down with us to talk about what sex looks like after baby. How to manage the demands of motherhood while still connecting physically with yourself and/or a partner. 

Chelsea Skaggs, Founder of Postpartum Together, dishes up the truth about the impact that birth and early motherhood can have on your sex life and romantic relationship.Just because you may get the all-clear to start having sex again after your six-week postpartum check-up, you may not even feel close to ready. Many new moms (and new dads!) face a decreased sex drive after welcoming a baby into their homes. Blame lack of sleep, the pressure of new childcare responsibilities, and possibly higher anxiety. Chelsea helps us understand the shared experiences that many moms are having in the bedroom and gives us practical tips on how to get our emotional and physical needs met in nonconventional ways.Get access to Chelsea's Back in the Sack freebie:https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5e9b85acdeb00300266fe1e0Learn more about Chelsea: https://www.postpartumtogether.com/https://www.instagram.com/postpartumtogether/***Find us on Instagram, and let's become mom friends!

In 2019 Elizabeth wants to let go of control and surrender to the plans the planet has for her. In this very special podcast Elizabeth speaks about her relationship to sex post baby. This is an exciting topic for the cusp of the New Year as one of her intentions is to continue to explore her scared sexuality and share about it more deeply.

Today’s show is super juicy, super uncomfortable to talk about yet super important to talk about! We are talking about post-partum. More specifically postpartum sex! Remember yourself in the bedroom (or anywhere else for that matter) before having kids? Remember how wild and free you were? How you always found the time and energy to be intimate, how quickly and easily you got turned on? Remember the smell of your partner and how madly in love you felt after being intimate? I get goosebumps thinking back and recalling how different things were before kids came into the picture. For me, after three vaginal births (and three extra mouths to feed) things are much different now. Now we pretty much have to schedule a time in our calendars to make it happen, otherwise, there is just no time! With three young kids, sex is sort of like a chore or a to do. Now by the time kids go to bed we are exhausted and prioritize sleep over sex. After kids, I feel like we, women, sort of feel like we do our partners a HUGE favor for being intimate? Now your desire and passion for sex are not as acute as it used to be. Your hormones have changed, you have changed, your partner have changed and now is the time to go through the process, I call “adulting” which is when you realize that, although things are different now, you can still experience joy, ecstasy, pleasure and yes orgasm like a virgin! You probably won’t be able to scream like a virgin, so go ahead put a hand on your mouth, do it in the basement, laundry room or simply wait for kids to be at school, but for the love of God do not give up on sex! It is such an important and crucial piece of your mental, emotional and physical health! Today on the show I am talking with Kimberly Johnson, who is a certified Sexological Bodyworker, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, doula, post-partum recovery specialist and retired yoga teacher. She has taught workshops on the intersection of women’s sexuality and spirituality throughout Brazil, Portugal, and the United States. She is the author of the book “The Fourth Trimester: A post parturm guide to Healing Your Body, Balancing Your Emotions and Restoring Your Vitality.” She specializes in birth injury, birth trauma, and sexual healing and currently works in private practice in Solana Beach, California. Here’s what we covered on the show: Kimberly’s story and how she healed herself from a pelvic prolapse after birthing her daughter The definition of ‘sexological bodywork’ and why is it helpful for women who have experienced birth trauma The definition of a ‘somatic experiencing’ and how she uses her training to help women post-partum How to prepare for sex postpartum so both sides don’t feel disappointment? The importance of learning to orgasm from a place of connection. Nutrients and supplements to support healing post-partum.

In this episode we're talking all about having sex after baby. Yes, this is the much anticipated followup to our episode about sex while pregnant (link below). Postpartum sex can be tricky, and for us it involved patience, compassion and creativity. But now, both Matthew and I can say without a doubt, that we're having the BEST SEX OF OUR RELATIONSHIP, and that's after pushing out a kid! If you’ve listened to the Doing It At Home podcast for a while, you’ve probably gathered that Matthew and I value transparency a whole lot. It’s important for us to be as candid, raw and real as possible - because the greatest breakthroughs we’ve had as a couple and as individuals have been made possible by others showing the example of bold and authentic living. It’s for this reason that we share parts of our experience of home birth and beyond - because if it helps and empowers anyone like others did for us, then we feel in our purpose and mission. So that’s why we include talking about our sex life in the show’s topics. We covered sex while pregnant in episode 6 (check that out here). And now that we’re on the other side, we figured it was worth taking time to talk about postpartum sex. Sex after giving birth is a whole other dimension of a sexual relationship - or at least it has been for us. It has brought its own set of unique opportunities and challenges. For one thing, after some minor tearing during Maya’s home birth, I had some fears around how my vagina would heal and whether or not I’d ever be able to make love the way we used to (forget the possibility of expanding our repertoire or level of intimacy). I judged myself when I thought about the timeframe of when we’d return to having sex. When I asked other women how long they waited, I catalogued the responses and started comparing myself. And when we did have sex for the first time after giving birth, I was a little disheartened and frustrated. It was pretty painful. So here I was back to the time I lost my virginity and thought, “Why would anyone ever want to have sex?! This is the worst thing ever. I can’t believe people do this and like it!” I saw what I thought would be a long road of recovery up ahead. Not to mention I was getting used to my new body - everything leaking and in a different position from where it was a year ago. I am blessed to have an amazingly patient partner in Matthew. Over the course of postpartum recovery we worked together to communicate clearly and connect intimately. It’s been a process of opening up, drawing upon the trust and surrender process of giving birth, and allowing that to carry over into our sexual relationship. It’s taken time, conversations, and some deep breathing...but now we’re at a place where the sex is juicier than it ever was! How is that possible? Listen to this episode and find out!
