123: How to Have a Fulfilling Sex Life, Even as a Busy Parent with Janna

For this week's episode on The Balanced Parent Podcast, we are going to talk about something a little different: how to keep the fire of our relationship with our partner burning. To help me in this conversation, I have my dear friend (truly, we are besties!) and colleague Janna Denton-Howes. She is a women's Desire Coach and she's going to talk to us all about how we can stay connected and enjoy our couple relationship, even as busy parents. *One disclaimer: Janna is a desire coach for women married to men, and she lists this as her area of expertise, not to be heteronormative but because it reflects her own lived experience and she wants to recognize that the struggles in this area for folks with other identities may be very different than her own. That said, I carefully reviewed this episode and I do believe, regardless of our identities, that we are all affected by the cultural soup of misogyny and patriarchy that can make it so hard to want and enjoy sex and intimacy with our partners. So, if your lived experience is different than Janna's and mine, it is my hope that you will listen in, take what feels aligned and leave the rest. And please know that you are seen, held, loved and supported here.
