Hi there,

I’m excited to invite you to a special event I’m hosting in partnership with Auggie, a community for parents like you! Join me and Mike for "Fewer Fights By Christmas Morning: Holiday Harmony for Couples," a free virtual event designed to get you and your partner in a good place as a team before the holidays and the new year.

Event Details:

📅 Date: Thursday, December 4th
🕐 Time: 1:00-1:45 pm (Eastern)
📲 RSVP: Create your free Auggie account to RSVP here https://www.auggie.com/events/aw2?utm_content=postpartumtogether

What We'll Cover:

-Why the holidays can be extra stressful for couples (and why January is such a big month for divorce attorneys)
-What you can proactively do to minimize stress during the busy holiday gatherings
-Exactly what you need to discuss as a team so you can work together
-How to address feelings of resentment and gender norm frustrations that the holiday can exacerbate.

After the presentation, we’ll host a live Q&A to address your specific questions — so bring anything you’d like to discuss!

Why Auggie?

Warmly,
Chels + Mike
