Nourishing The Mother

We kick off this episode with an honest chat about parenting our autistic child — what it asks of us individually and as a couple. It was meant to be a quick segue into sex after long days… but became its own detour (because that’s real life). If you can hang in through the parenting feels, the juicy bits arrive soon after.We open up about desire, body changes, flirty connection, and how we keep choosing each other in the mundane, chaotic, and overwhelming days. From the gym-sex metaphor to stepping towards instead of away when one of us is shut down, this conversation is full of real, imperfect, heart-and-body truths.In this episode, we discuss:- Parenting our autistic child and the emotional toll it takes on intimacy- The evolving perception of each other as woman, man, mother, and father- How desire shifts through exhaustion, resentment, and seasons of distance- Nick’s reflections on my changing body, including prolapse, and how he holds that with love- The “gym mindset” — why sex is worth the effort even
