#7: Keeping the Spark Alive Starts with You—Why Parental Burnout Is Killing Your Connection


Listen Later

Talk to Nichole and Ben.

It’s easy to put yourself last when you’re raising kids—but over time, that self-neglect doesn’t just wear you down. It wears down your relationship too.

In this episode, Nichole and Ben talk honestly about the pressure, guilt, and emotional exhaustion that comes with parenting—and how losing touch with yourself often leads to disconnection in your marriage. They share real-life stories (including Ben’s laser tag adventures), practical shifts that have helped them recharge, and the small but powerful ways couples can support each other through the chaos.

This isn’t about bubble baths or booking a spa weekend. It’s about recognising that when you take care of yourself, you show up better—for your kids, your partner, and yourself.

If you’ve been running on empty, feeling resentful, or quietly wondering where “you” went in all of this… this episode is the reminder you need.
