How do I turn my libido back on? - Coaching session with Cindy

Leah shares a coaching session with Cindy, a married mother of one, for support around a very human variety of issues: decreased libido, sex after motherhood, love languages, pandemic life, sex for connection vs. conception, miscarriage, self-care, homework, and grace.   Bookmark moments: Cindy talks about participating in coaching in one of Leah's group sessions, and catches us up on what life looks like (sexually and otherwise) a year into the pandemic. Stress can have varied effects on libido—up or down. Can you turn your libido back "on"? Cindy talks about what she did to try, paying more attention to her body, taking better care of it. They talk about trying to use sex to connect *as well as* conceive. Leah helps Cindy hone in on what she wants her sex life to look life. Cindy conceives but suffers a miscarriage; she opens up about the impact. Homework assignments—fun ones, of course—can be a tangible, focused way to take concrete steps towards your goal. And, sometimes the homework is giving yourself grace. Cindy gets specific about what she wants to focus on in her relationship. They speak on love languages: his is gifts, hers is acts of service. Leah helps Cindy navigate through ideas for activities. Leah talks about how coaching can help in different relationship areas and for specific interests, with group and solo options. A post-coaching update from Cindy; and a discussion about being compassionate with yourself about your fears. Update:  Since this episode was released, the podcast has concluded.
