Well, hey friend, welcome to Job with Julie. I'm Julie Slattery and let me just remind you that this

podcast is listener supported and it's an outreach of authentic intimacy which is a ministry dedicated to helping people make sense of God and

sexuality. Well we talk quite a bit about sex on this podcast but there's one aspect

that we haven't talked about in great detail.

And that is postpartum sex or sex after pregnancy.

Now, this might not come as much as surprise,

but sex after babies or after kids is a little bit different than

sex before them. Not only is a woman's body physically different after giving

birth but she has new emotions and there's a lot of fatigue and has a couple you're

adjusting to a lot of new normals. Well today my guests are Dr. Jennifer

Deggler and Heather Mara who is a public floor therapist.

Together this dynamic duo is going to help husbands and wives understand some of the

challenges that they're facing in their sexual relationship and they'll provide some strategies

and advice for what to do to make things better. So grab your coffee, maybe a notebook to

jot some things down, and tune into this very helpful conversation with my guest Jennifer

Degler and Heather Mara.

Well we know that having sex sometimes leads to having children. But the opposite usually doesn't work. Like once you have

children, it tends to slow sex down. So I think particularly for women. And so I'm so thankful to have you two ladies here

with me today to talk through some of the complication,

that complexity, the struggle of how do you re-engage sexually once you've had kids.

So you guys are bringing like expertise, fun stories,

and great advice.
