I always tell my clients, "You'll never love or hate your partner as much as you will after you have a baby." Emotions are high. Sleep is low. It's a big change. So what goes wrong and what can we do to be good parents AND good partners? Whether or not you're actually married, relationship coach Janna Denton-Howes walks us through some of the traps that can befall new parents, and strategies to stay connected during those stressful first years of parenthood.

Desiree Adaway is a business owner, educator, and changemaker. She's also a mother. How has her lived experience informed her parenting, and what does she mean when she says that "parenting is a radical act"? In this discussion we cover what she prioritized for her kids, reasonable expectations for our kids and ourselves, what makes a "good mom," what patriarchy has to do with that, and setting boundaries with our families.

What's this podcast about? Who are you? What can we expect? In this short introductory episode, I'll tell you about my path to becoming a Semi Crunchy Mama, and why this podcast is the next step. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I do making it.
