085 - Sex and body image, with Isiah Mckimmie

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast Julia chats with one of Australia’s leading Relationship and Sex Experts, Isiah McKimmie.

Julia and Isiah talk about all things SEX AND BODY IMAGE. They discuss the perception that mums can’t be sexual, why mothers are struggling to find their sense of sensuality and desire again, the male perception of a mother's sexuality, and what celebrity mothers are doing for the perception of sexuality in society. 

Isiah also shares her advice:

• for any mother getting herself out there and feeling confident sexually if it's been a while, and having sex with a new partner;
• getting emotionally ready, and the potential of carrying forward old issues from the past;
• getting past the body image insecurities which can lead to feeling extremely self-conscious when it comes to getting naked and having sex; 
• shutting the inner critic down during sex; and
• LOTS MORE!

Isiah also shares her tips for any women whose bodies may have taken a toll due to illnesses such as cancer, and who are struggling to feel comfortable with their body image and sex.
