4. Navigating Your Relationship in the Newborn Phase with Katharine Vida Gonzalez

Send us a text


I always thought it was cliché when people said that everything
changes when you have a baby, but now that I’m here, I completely
understand what they mean! No matter how you slice it, your
relationship with your partner does change after a baby. In this
episode, I sit down with stay-at-home-mom and full-time blogger,
Katharine Gonzalez to chat about tips for keeping a healthy
marriage after having a baby. 

Katharine and I  are also a huge proponents of couples
counseling pre and post baby. We talk about our experiences in
couples counseling, how to find a marriage counselor, and when
the right time to see someone is. Spoiler alert: we recommend
seeking out a couples counselor sooner rather than later. There
doesn't need to be a "problem" to start counseling!
