In today's episode we're joined by Sara Stone, a Holistic Couples Counsellor & Intimacy Coach. Sara talks us through all things intimacy after becoming a mother, including why our libido changes, how we can have conversations around desire with our partners and how to navigate always feeling touched out (especially during the first 12 months of parenthood). We love that Sara sheds light on topics generally considered "taboo", and brings a healthy dose of reality and humour to our chat.

Claire also spills the tea on her first night out since having baby Luca, and Alannah shares how her postnatal hormones are a pain in the butt (and head).
