New parenthood comes with so many challenges--sleep deprivation, so many decisions, new identities, and the monumental shift in the relationship with your partner as you become parents.

With all this stress, how do we find each other again? How do we get on the same team?

Today, I'm talking with Matthias Barker all about partner relationships and parenting. We're covering everything from the research behind relational satisfaction in parenting to tangible tips for supporting your parter relationship in the trenches of early parenthood and beyond.

I hope you find this episode supportive and takeaway some actionable tips for navigating this challenging transition, together!
