Love + exhaustion can live in the same house
|
No one warned me how quickly joy and exhaustion can collide. One moment you’re soaking in the sweetness of your baby, and the next you’re wondering how you and your partner will ever feel like the same team again. Maybe you’ve felt it too:
You’re not crazy for feeling this way. In fact, two-thirds of couples report a decline in relationship satisfaction after baby. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to stay that way. Mike and I have lived this tension. We hit the friction, stumbled through it, and came out with tools that changed how we show up as partners. And now, we get to share those tools with couples like you — so you don’t have to figure it all out in survival mode. 👉 If this feels familiar, let’s talk. We offer free connection calls to hear your story and see if support would be a fit. You can grab a time here: calendly.com/chelseaskaggs/connection-call You’re not alone in this, |

ReaderThis week, Mike and I sat down with the mic and I asked him one question: What are you most afraid of as a parent and partner? That one question opened up a really honest, powerful conversation about fatherhood, inadequacy, presence, and what it actually looks like to lead with calm instead of control. It’s a great listen for both moms and dads — maybe even one to play together. I’ve got some exciting things coming your way in tomorrow’s newsletter, but I didn’t want to wait to share...
