We thought we’d do something a little bit different this week and invite relationship coach and friend of the podcast, Megan Luscombe, on for one big deep dive segment! A few weeks ago Megan left a comment on one of our reels around the idea that “men need sex to feel love”. We wanted to unpack this with Megan so we got her in the studio to break down this idea for us. Plus we talk about the pressure for women to get back into sex postpartum, sex vs intimacy, using sex as a bandaid to cover up for a lack of vulnerability, and lots more!

We’ll pop a question box on our Instagram story on the day this episode comes out. Please send us your icks! Also! Steph was singing along to a classic 90’s banger with her four-year-old son Harvey when she realised what the lyrics were actually saying and how inappropriate they were.
