Having the open conversation about sex and low libido can be really difficult. It’s a very personal, deep topic that many go through and don’t have a resource or an outlet to express their struggles or feel comfortable talking about it.
As a mother and a wife, being intimate can be low on your list of priorities. Your sex drive with your partner may be low, or not as it use to be in the beginning of your relationship. If you are feeling this way, please know that it is extremely common among women.
This episode is all about those topics as well as learning the whys, hows and what to do to change things up with your partner.
