Episode 36: From Baby Bliss to Marriage Miss? Emilie White Gets Real About Connection After Kids.

Listen Later

Do you remember life before kids? For some, it feels like forever ago. For others, it’s as clear as yesterday. New mom Emilie White, President & CEO of The Relish Jar, is soaking up the baby snuggles and giggles with her 4-month-old daughter, Penelope. But alongside the joy, Emilie faced an unexpected challenge- feeling the “loss” of her marriage. Not divorce, but the disconnection many couples experience in early parenthood. In this candid conversation, Emilie shares:

  • What surprised her most about the transition into motherhood 
    • How she and her husband Jake began to rebuild connection after feeling distant 
      • The ways her identity has shifted as both a wife and business leader 
        • Practical rhythms and rituals that help them stay connected in busy seasons 
          • Encouragement for moms who may feel the same loss of connection in their marriage 

            • Stick around until the end for a fun lightning round where Emilie reveals: 

            • Her go-to comfort food after a long day 
              • Whether she prefers sweatpants nights in or date nights out 
                • One parenting rule she swore she’d never break—but totally does now 

                  • This episode is an honest reminder that while connection takes work, it’s worth every step.
