Episode 48: {Mindful Mama Podcast Guest} From “Touched Out” to Turned On: Mindful Intimacy with Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy
This week, we’re resharing an episode from the Mindful Mama Podcast, on which Dr. Rebecca was a guest earlier this year: "From “Touched Out” to Turned On: Mindful Intimacy."
Parenting can leave intimacy feeling impossible - but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode, Hunter Clarke-Fields talks with Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy, sex therapist and author of Parents in Love, about navigating desire, connection, and pleasure in long-term relationships.
You’ll discover:
• Why desire differences are normal, and not a sign something is wrong
• How parenting affects intimacy and touch
• Practical ways to nurture responsive desire without pressure
• How attachment patterns influence emotional and physical closeness
• The power of micro moments to keep connection alive
If you’ve ever felt “touched out” or disconnected from your partner, this episode gives research-backed, realistic strategies to rediscover desire, cultivate connection, and bring intimacy back into your relationship.
Hunter Clarke-Fields is the host of the Mindful Mama Podcast, global speaker, bestselling author of “Raising Good Humans” and “Raising Good Humans Every Day,” Mindfulness Meditation teacher and creator of the Mindful Parenting Course and Teacher Training.
