Stop pushing the other podcast
I like the mindful mama podcast but I do not like the Jay Shetty one. Please stop pushing it when you push yours. I tolerated it for months at this point because I thought it was a temporary thing. I will unsubscribe if this doesn’t stop by the end of November 2025.

My most recommended podcast!
Hunter’s work was instrumental in my early parenting years. I found her course and meditation through this podcast, and then her book! I now have a tween and continue to benefit from her research and guests on the podcast. I am always sharing episodes with friends and family.

From “Touched Out” to Turned On: Mindful Intimacy - Dr. Rebecca Eudy

Q: How can parents navigate this, especially moms?

From “Touched Out” to Turned On: Mindful Intimacy - Dr. Rebecca Eudy

Q: Can you tell us more about the desire differences that happen?

A difference in desire is actually more the norm than not over the lifetime of a long-term relationship, and kids typically accentuate this. It's important to recognize that this is more of sort of a feature of long-term relationships than a sign that something's wrong.
