Today Diana Park is tackling a topic that will be sadly familiar to a lot of moms: the fact that for a lot of us, it takes a while for your libido to rebound after having kids. “I did try as best as I could to get in the mood, but I just wasn’t. Then, I kept hoping my low libido would pass and I’d feel like my old self again. That didn’t happen either.”

She ultimately realized part of her problem was simple: putting pressure on herself. Yup, that’ll do it.
