Postpartum is an immense time of transition that includes not only having a new baby, but also navigating a massive hormonal cliff, recovery after birth, body changes, erratic sleep schedules, identity change and so much more.

So where does pleasure, sexuality, sensuality and eroticism come in? 

And how do we enter into that space with attunement, tenderness, self-awareness and... perhaps most importantly embodied consent?

Most mamas and birthing parents are given the go-ahead to engage in sex again at 6 or 8 weeks by their provider, but many are not ready - at all (let's normalize this).

Just because your tissues are healed enough to safely engage in sexual intercourse does NOT mean you have to start doing it again.

There are SO MANY WAYS to experience pleasure and orgasm and sex that do not have to involve intercourse.

And listening to your body, your mind, your spirit is paramount.

What you want and what you like might be entirely different from before. 

Sexological bodyworker and sex educator Gal Mar-Qz shares all about these topics and much more on today's episode.

We also explore some practices you can bring into your body, your partnership or even your parenting life that may be very helpful as you re-discover who you are now as you blend the identities of mother and erotic being. 

I hope this conversation feels like a gift for you!
