Join Jen and Karlee as they talk about a bit of a controversial topic – Intimacy & Sex! This topic can be “touchy” to talk about for some people but we believe it’s important to have these conversations and normalize the topic. Throughout the entire perinatal period the dynamics of your relationship can change greatly in regards to intimacy and sex; for most people it often becomes this elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. There can be a ton of physical changes that happen during these times and it’s more important than ever to be open with your partner about how you are feeling. We hope…

Join Jen and Karlee as they talk about their own experiences with comparison/shame and how every baby is beautifully unique.
