E80: But where Did My Libido Go? Sex, Intimacy & Motherhood with Jo Robertson


Listen Later

In this very real, and oh-so-needed conversation, Beth and Lilly sit down with Jo Robertson, renowned Sex and Relationship Therapist, for a deep and honest chat about sex, intimacy, and relationships in early motherhood.

Whether you're in the thick of postpartum, navigating the emotional load of motherhood, or simply wondering “where the heck did my libido go?”, this episode is a balm for your heart—and your body. Jo shares powerful insights on:

  • Why libido often vanishes after birth

  • The truth about desire (hint: you’re absolutely not broken)

  • How to reconnect with your partner when you're touched out and time-poor

  • Practical ways to bring intimacy back into your life—on your terms

We asked your questions—and got the answers we all needed to hear. Perfect for new mums, mums-to-be, or any woman feeling disconnected from her sensual self. This is a guilt-free, shame-free zone to feel seen, supported, and inspired to gently reclaim your sexual self—when you’re ready.
