Thrive Again - Your relationship podcast

In this episode, we pull apart a dynamic that largely goes unseen in many relationships. We openly chat about how women can disempower their man in different ways that perhaps they don't even know about. 

This is so important to bring awareness to as most of the time it is unconscious and it is based on fear and so women use strategies to curb their fear which inadvertently may be squashing his own identity and sense of presence and leadership.

We chat about our own journey as this absolutely happened in our relationship - We pull this apart on the mic for the first time and it got quite vulnerable.

Join us for this intriguing episode where we offer ways to shift from our fear based patterns  that may be causing a divide between the two of you.

Approximately two-thirds of couples express less satisfaction and more conflict in their relationship within the first 5 years of having children.

Having kids emotionally revolutionises a relationship—not just temporarily, but for a lifetime. Not only does the couple need to adjust to the transition from two to three (or more) in the family unit, priorities shift, roles are redefined, and there is a profound change to the level of responsibility and freedom within the relationship and in life itself.

While most couples adjust accordingly, many find that their level of intimacy starts to wane.

We ask some thought provoking questions to help you get to the bottom of where exactly is the source of the disconnect that develops between couples at this time. 

Here are some questions you should ask yourself and as a couple to get things back to the aliveness energy between the two of you:

Does the role of parenting feel overwhelming, lopsided or unfair affecting your connection with your partner?  If so, how?

Do you find yourself criticising your partner, being disrespectful or inconsiderate more now than before you had kids? If so, in what situations? 

Have you been neglecting your relationship by excessively focusing on the needs of your child? 

Do you feel neglected or rejected by your partner? In what ways?

Have you taken each other for granted in your relationship? For example, treating strangers with more consideration than your partner? 

Have the changes in your physical appearance after childbirth hindered the intimacy in your relationship? 

How do you believe social media has affected your relationship as a parent and a partner?

In this episode Amy and I decided to just spitball our experiences of being young parents. How this experience was for each of us - negative and positive.

We reflect on the deeper feelings we had in our separate roles as a stay at home Mum and full time breadwinner:
- Isolation
- Abandonment
- Purpose-less
- Jealousy
- Monotony
- Exhaustion!

When we become parents, we often flick the relationship to the side. It's like "Ok we've nailed this and we have secured it so let's look at what else needs our atention and if there's spare time, we'll just work on it then."

Join us for this insightful "dissection" of our relationship through this often stressful and disconnected experience.

We need to throw out the old ways of communicating with each other when the topic is a hot one that may cause friction as a couple!

We are going to radically shift the way we interact with each other. If we want a different result, we need to implement change in our approach.

We discuss a simple structured approach to bringing big stuff to the table in conversation while reducing the likelihood of this causing a blowup between you.

- Environment (Appropriate time and space)
- Breathing (Technique to remain in a parasympathetic response)
- Active listening (Mirroring so each of you are heard)
