Show Notes
In this candid and eye-opening conversation, Ashley welcomes Angie Anger, a self intimacy and sex coach, to the And Both Podcast. Angie shares her non-linear journey from counseling and corporate marketing to becoming a coach who helps women and femmes reconnect with their bodies, pleasure, and self-worth—especially through the lens of motherhood and long-term partnership. With empathy, humor, and a refreshing dose of honesty, they discuss desire types, communication barriers, emotional labor, and how parenthood reshapes intimacy. Angie reminds us: you’re not broken, you’re just human.
In this conversation:
- The difference between responsive vs. spontaneous desire (and why most women aren’t broken)
- Why connection and self-intimacy matter more than scheduled sex
- How shifting your mindset from performance to play can transform your relationship
- The sex spiral of doom that many moms fall into—and how to break it
- How motherhood, aging, and identity shifts influence desire and pleasure
- Why Angie only works with individuals and not couples (and how it helps)
- Real talk on body image, communication breakdowns, and the dishes fight
- Coaching insights that help moms reclaim their pleasure on their own terms
- Angie’s advice for the mom who feels unseen, unsexy, and unsure where to start
- A preview of part two: how to talk to your kids about sex, bodies, and consent
