Description

Why does the trash matter more than sex? Why do new moms feel like they’re drowning—and new dads feel helpless? And is “mom brain” actually… genius? Erin and Abe go deep with psychologist Dr. Nicole Pensak on what nobody tells you about postpartum life—and how couples can stay close through the chaos.
