Raising kids changes everything — your time, your energy, your body, your identity… and yes, your sex life.
If passion feels harder, less frequent, or basically nonexistent after becoming parents, you’re not alone and nothing is wrong with you.
In this episode of Do You Feel That?, we dive deep into why desire shifts so dramatically after kids and what you can actually do to rebuild intimacy in a life filled with exhaustion, interruptions, and tiny humans who need you constantly.
We talk about:
- Why postpartum identity shifts make sexuality harder to access
- How sleep deprivation, mental load, and resentment quietly kill desire
- The stages of parenting and realistic expectations for each
- What to do when you feel touched-out, disconnected, or insecure in your body
- How to schedule intimacy (without killing the mood)
- Practical ways to rebalance labor and rebuild attraction
- How to bring back physical affection without pressure
- Why the path back to passion after kids requires a new model, not the old one
If you feel more like co-parents than lovers… if you miss the spark you used to have… if you want intimacy but don’t know how to access it again — this episode will help you feel seen, understood, and hopeful.
Passion isn’t gone. It just needs a new language — one that fits the life you’re living now.
And yes, you can absolutely find your way back to each other.
