Motherhood cracks open a whole new world — and with it, a thousand unseen fractures in our relationships. In this episode, we sit tenderly and truthfully with the discomfort of disconnection, resentment, and the quiet heartbreak so many couples experience as they build their families. This is the conversation that rarely gets spoken, but so desperately needs to be heard.

In this episode we discuss:
•The hidden grief and resentment of feeling disconnected from your partner in early motherhood
•How chasing the “perfect mother” archetype can consume all your emotional energy — and leave your relationship starving
•The way babies meet your oxytocin needs — and how this can unconsciously push your partner further away
•The growing conflict as children’s needs, demands, and family dynamics evolve
•The chasm created by inequity in the mental load and emotional labour of parenting
•How different parenting styles can ignite deeper wounds and escalate conflict
•The myth of “children are the ultimate gift” — and the struggle it hides underneath
•Why parenting doesn’t trigger your attachment wounds in the same way partnership does — and why relationship becomes the real crucible for growth
•Moving beyond the narrative of being “touched out” to understanding deeper emotional abandonment wounds
•Why daily self-care is essential for sustaining connection and vitality (not a luxury or a reward)
•How prioritising women’s bodies beyond function is crucial for better sex, intimacy, and relationship health
•The cost of invisibilising women’s lived experiences of motherhood — and how we begin to heal
