Hear Daniela ask, “When we were in the chapters of our relationship where we'd lost ourselves individually and who we were as a couple, do you have a sense of what we lost?” Listen as Shaun says, “When they do go to school and suddenly you have just the slightest bit of time to yourself or time for your relationship, it's hard to be like, ‘Where do we even pick up? What do I do? What did we do before? How did I do it before? Wow. How did we even live before this?’” Tune in as they look at how becoming a parent reorganizes and jumbles all of your responsibilities and priorities.
