Podcast Episode 291: 4 Ways You Can Rekindle Your Sexual Spark: Going From Meh to Magic

Let’s be real: maintaining that sexual spark in a long-term relationship can sometimes feel like trying to ignite a campfire with a wet match. 

Between kids, work, and the endless to-do list, it’s easy for romance to slip into the category of “meh.” But fear not! We’re here to spice things up and get you from “meh” to magic in no time.

First things first: for most women, being “in the mood” is as much a mental and emotional journey as it is a physical one. It’s not about flipping a switch; it’s about setting the scene. Imagine trying to feel sexy when you’re stressed about deadlines or replaying that awkward conversation with your kid’s teacher in your head. 

Spoiler alert: it’s not happening.

Everyday stressors can put a real damper on the sexy vibes. Work, family obligations, and trying to remember if you’ve already watched this episode of The Bachelor can zap desire faster than a cold shower. But here’s the deal: feeling guilty for not being in the “mood” only adds to the stress. 

In this podcast episode, we share our thoughts on how men and women often see sex through 2 fairly different lenses…which can often lead to challenges. In the end, going from “meh” to magic is about understanding that sexiness starts long before you hit the sheets. It’s about connection, support, and sometimes just a good old-fashioned cuddle.

With a little effort and a lot of love, you’ll find that the spark was there all along—it just needed a little fanning.

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • The importance that both the mental and emotional states play in sexual responsiveness and interest. 
  • Sharing feelings of being overwhelmed, underappreciated, or physically drained can help partners understand each other better and make adjustments to support one another.
  • Simple acts of physical closeness like cuddling, kissing, and sitting together can also strengthen a romantic bond. 
  • Acknowledging how everyday stressors, including work and family obligations, can impact sexual desire.
