In this powerful episode of The Mama Healing Hub Podcast, Carrie and Alyssa sit down with Sophia Ashley, founder of Intimacy After Kids, for a conversation every parent needs to hear.
Together they unpack what really happens to intimacy, identity, libido, and emotional connection after kids — and how couples can rebuild something deeper, softer, and more alive.
Sophia shares her own journey from personal struggle to sex coaching and breaks down the nervous system science behind why intimacy feels harder after children. This episode is filled with practical, relatable insights on creating micro moments of connection, navigating dysregulated nervous systems, communicating desire, and rekindling intimacy in a season of life where everyone is tired, touched-out, and overwhelmed.
And yes… you’ll hear why she believes we all need to “throw our libido a party.”
Sophia will also be joining us for a live drop-in in the Mama Healing Hub on January 15th 2026, and you can join for free.
