Most couples spend months preparing for the baby...and almost no time preparing their relationship for what comes next.
Postpartum relationship coach Chelsea Skaggs joins Samantha to talk about the five biggest ways relationships shift after having a child, and what couples can do before and after baby arrives to stay connected.
Chelsea covers emotional disconnection, the mental load, intimacy, communication breakdowns, and identity — including why the term "matrescence" is finally getting the attention it deserves.
Whether you're expecting, newly postpartum, or just thinking about this chapter, this conversation gives you real language for things you might already be feeling.
What you’ll take away:
A clearer understanding of how relationships shift after a baby
Why communication can break down—and how to navigate it
A new way to think about mental load and shared responsibility
How to stay connected to your partner through a major life transition
