Ever feel like your mind just won’t switch off - even in the bedroom?
Maybe you’re stressing about your to-do list, overanalysing the moment or caught up in self-doubt.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone!
The mental load of sex is real and for busy women juggling careers, family, fitness and life, it can feel impossible to fully relax and enjoy intimacy.
In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Paige, a Provisional Psychologist and Master of Clinical Psychology student, who’s currently researching how our thoughts before and after sex shape our experiences.
We chat about:
- What the mental load of sex actually means and how it affects women
- How stress, busy schedules and overthinking impact libido and pleasure
- The role of repetitive negative thinking (RNT) in intimacy and confidence
- Practical mindset shifts to reduce overanalysing and start enjoying sex more
- Simple ways to prioritise intimacy, even with a packed schedule
If you’re a busy woman struggling to balance it all and want to reclaim pleasure, connection and confidence in your sex life - this one’s for you!
