Have you ever tried to talk to your partner about something important, but the second you start, you feel flustered, your heart races, and the words come out wrong? You're not alone. When our brain senses conflict, it often kicks us into fight-or-flight mode, making it harder to think clearly and express ourselves calmly.

In this episode of Better Relationships After Baby, we’re unpacking why that happens and how to unfluster yourself before and during serious conversations. If you’re stuck in the same arguments on repeat, it’s time for a new approach.

We’ll talk about the impact of the stress response on communication, how to filter what really needs to be addressed right now, the role of regular check-ins, and how to match communication styles. You’ll leave with practical strategies to reset your dynamic and move toward teamwork, not tension.
