This is your go-to Podcast, where we help parents navigate the complexities of family life. Hosted by Ali Kessler of Greyson’s Choice, we’ll cover everything from understanding domestic violence to navigating the legal system, finding the right therapists, life hacks, family law, mental health, custody battles, and how to protect children in dangerous situations.
Host, Ali Kessler, interviews Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy, a licensed mental health counselor, certified sex therapist, and certified EFT couples therapist, about why intimacy often declines during parenting and how couples can reconnect emotionally and sexually. Dr. Eudy discusses how exhaustion, survival mode, and lack of “runway” can erode desire; how pursue/withdraw cycles and attachment injuries drive conflict; and why shame and limited language keep couples from seeking help. She shares practical steps like de-escalating the cycle, building shared language around triggers and trauma, and creating daily “micro moments” of connection. Dr. Eudy describes her book, Parents in Love: A Guide to Great Sex After Kids; her coaching/therapy availability in MA, CT, and NY; and her podcast, Under the Hood, which includes pelvic floor insights.

About Ali Kessler: Ali Kessler is a writer, marketing professional, passionate parent advocate, and founder of Greyson’s Choice, a 501(c)(3) created to raise awareness about the risk of domestic abuse on children. Greyson’s Choice was founded by Ali Kessler in memory of her sweet, vibrant, and fearless 4.5-year-old son, Greyson, who was murdered by his biological father in a murder-suicide during an unsupervised, court-approved visit in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, in 2021. This came just hours after her petition for a domestic violence injunction was denied by a Broward County judge, citing that the “petitioner has failed to allege any overt acts by the respondent which would constitute domestic violence under Florida Statute.”
Ali’s advocacy efforts culminated in successfully passing Greyson’s Law during the 2023 legislative session. This bill now requires the court to consider threats against ex-partners or spouses when making child visitation and custody determinations in the court, expanding to include the following factors: evidence of domestic violence, whether a parent in the past or currently has reasonable cause to believe that they or a minor child is, or has been in imminent danger of becoming the victim of domestic/sexual violence by the other parent, even if no other legal action has been brought or is currently pending in court.
