The dream of having a family can quickly darken in the face of fertility issues. Sex suddenly becomes a highly monitored business, filled with immense pressure and  crushing timelines.

33 year-old Bridget endured three tumultuous years of IVF treatments, invasive medical procedures, severe sickness, and the trauma of pregnancy losses, all while living through the stress and isolation of Covid. The experience left her feeling utterly broken, both physically and mentally, and traumatized with severe PTSD.

Through it all, Bridget eventually delivered two healthy babies, but her views toward sex were understandably negative. She had no sexual interest or desire, and felt sex to be an endless chore and duty.

Listen to how Janna helped Bridget redefined the meaning of sex in her marriage and what Bridget’s husband has learned about his approach to his wife. There are so many valuable takeaways in this episode to help navigate the valid state of low sexual desire.
