Sex After: A Special New Year's Episode: Mental Health, Intentions & Starting the Year with Ease

In this New Year’s episode of Sex After, Amy Marcs and therapist Sasha Hawkes gently dismantle the pressure of January 1st. Together, they explore why resolutions often leave us feeling ashamed, anxious, or behind and why intentions offer a kinder, more sustainable alternative.

They talk about easing into the year instead of forcing change, using ritual and language to create safety in the body, and allowing grief, exhaustion, or uncertainty to exist without judgment. The conversation also touches on releasing what no longer serves you, trusting without needing all the answers, and remembering that vulnerability is strength when it is shared in safe, connected spaces.

This episode is a reminder that there is no right way to start the year. You are allowed to rest, to stabilize, to take your time, and to begin exactly where you are.
