Description

Are you recently postpartum and wondering what happened to your relationship? You’re not alone—and we’re getting real about it.

This week, we’re joined by Sheina Schochet (@loveafterbaby)—therapist, mom of 4, and postpartum relationship expert. Together, we unpack all the things no one preps you for when it comes to relationships after baby:

  • The roommate phase no one warns you about

  • Constant bickering and the dumbest fights

  • Intimacy struggles and why your sex life after kids feels impossible

  • Why your marriage suddenly feels like a full-time job after baby

Sheina shares practical advice on how to reconnect with your partner, communicate without killing each other, and bring the spark back—even when you’re covered in spit-up.

If your relationship has taken a hit postpartum… this episode is for you.
