Description

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to welcome Dr. Holly Wood to the podcast this week. Yes, her name is iconic, but so is the work she’s doing in the world of sex therapy. With a PhD in Human Sexuality and certifications as both an AASECT sex therapist and a clinical psychology sexologist, Dr. Holly brings so much knowledge and heart to her work. As a new mom herself, she’s here to share both expert advice and personal experiences around keeping intimacy alive after kids. 

In this episode:

• Dr. Holly shares what inspired her to specialize in sex and relationships
• Why so many couples struggle to stay connected after kids
• The body changes that happen, hormones, and feeling sexy again after pregnancy
• How scheduling sex can be important for finding time for intimacy
• Why emotional intimacy is just as important as physical connection
• How to own your own pleasure instead of waiting on your partner
