You Are Not Broken: Sex and Libido in Pregnancy and Postpartum

Today’s podcast starts and ends with a BANG! We’re diving into a topic that bridges neuroscience, hormones, human connection, the physical body, and even the societal body. Yet sex and libido in pregnancy and postpartum remain topics so rarely discussed - leaving many couples to struggle in silence. Enter Dr. Kelly Casperson! Originally a urologist with advanced training in pelvic medicine and surgery, Dr. Casperson shifted her practice toward sexual health and intimacy after realizing how many women - especially postpartum - felt lost, broken, and helpless. The truth? You are not broken. In fact, data shows that 70% of people struggle with sex after having a baby. And there IS something you can do about it - starting with tuning into this candid, illuminating, and empowering conversation. Dr. Casperson's book is now out!
