Spring Clean the Emotional Clutter: The Hidden Blocks Holding Your Relationship Back


Listen Later

In this episode of Better Relationships After Baby, we’re not just opening the windows and scrubbing baseboards—we’re clearing out the emotional dust bunnies that quietly build up in your relationship. Inspired by a junk drawer declutter (spoiler: it wasn’t even my stuff), I’m diving into the invisible messes—like unspoken expectations, unchosen roles, and the quiet resentment that chips away at your connection.

You'll hear real talk about:

  • How the default parent role might be wearing you down

  • Why unspoken expectations create lingering tension

  • And how to name the needs that are currently going unmet

Plus, I’ll walk you through 3 core emotional blocks and give you reflective questions to get honest about what’s taking up space in your relationship.
