Description

This week, we’re joined by Jonathan @couplestherapywithjonathan, a couples therapist who specializes in helping overwhelmed couples navigate the rollercoaster of relationships before, during, and after kids.

We’re asking him everything—from the baby stage breakdowns to the bedroom dry spells—and getting real about the emotional chaos that hits when your relationship suddenly has a third (tiny, screaming) roommate.

If your relationship has felt off, quiet, or like a team sport you didn’t sign up for… this episode is for you.

We get into:

  • The biggest mistake couples make after having kids (that leads to major resentment)
  • How to stop keeping score when it feels like you're doing everything
  • Mismatched libidos: what to do when one of you wants it more
  • Whether scheduling sex is sexy or sad (spoiler: it might be both)
  • Reconnecting when you're just co-existing
  • Boundaries with toxic in-laws when your partner just wants to "keep the peace"
