No one tells you that motherhood doesn’t just change your schedule — it changes your internal temperature.

In this first episode of Real Pleasure Talk, I’m speaking honestly about becoming a mother and realizing that pleasure, desire, and identity don’t disappear — they just stop performing on demand.

We talk about the mental load, constant vigilance, the quiet grief for your old rhythm, and the pressure to “bounce back” emotionally, sexually, and energetically when your nervous system is still learning an entirely new language.

This isn’t a fix-it episode. It’s a permission slip.

Permission to want rest and intimacy. To crave quiet and connection. To let pleasure evolve instead of forcing it to return on someone else’s timeline.

This conversation is for the women who feel like they’re doing fine — but differently. For anyone navigating motherhood, identity shifts, and the slow remembering of self.

Welcome to Real Pleasure Talk — where it’s messy, honest, and exactly where we begin.
