Description
I'm touched out. I say that all the time. Before I became a parent I didn't know that was possible. But once I became a mom my body was no longer my own; it belonged to my children. But I didn't have a way to talk about the feeling of being touched out until I read the stunning book by Amanda Montei of the same name—TOUCHED OUT. There is an expectation gap between what we imagine motherhood looks like and what it actually is and the cultural script for motherhood has often been written by men.Today we get into the loneliness and alienation of motherhood, what it means to be touched out and what sex looks like after becoming a mom.Treat yourself to the best bras on the market and save 20% Off at HONEYLOVE.COM/INFLUENCEGrab Amanda's book here!Subscribe to our newsletter Over the Influence here.Order The Sicilian Inheritance here.
