In today’s episode of Housemates to Soulmates, we’re getting real about one of the biggest relationship shifts no one prepares you for: how intimacy changes after you have kids.
If you’ve found yourself lying next to your partner feeling emotionally distant, physically shut down, or wondering why your body just doesn’t respond the way it used to — this conversation is for you.
I’m walking you through the four most common reasons intimacy fades after motherhood — from how your relationship with your body changes, to what’s really going on when you feel touched out, emotionally drained, or full of silent resentment. This episode is packed with truth, compassion, and the kind of clarity that makes you exhale and go, “Okay… it’s not just me.”
But we’re not just talking about what’s hard. I’m also giving you four practical ways to start rebuilding intimacy — ways that feel doable, nourishing, and centred on you. Whether it’s reconnecting with your sensuality, setting new expectations around touch, or protecting one intentional moment of connection each day, these are tools that will help you soften back into yourself without giving more than you have to give.
This is one of those episodes you’ll want to send to every mum you know. Because the truth is — your desire isn’t gone. It’s just buried under a life that’s demanding everything from you. Let’s bring it back. Gently. Powerfully. In a way that honours the woman you’re becoming.
