Hey friend, Ever feel like every little conversation turns into a standoff after baby? And the harder you push, the further apart you get. It’s not that you don’t love each other. It’s that you have different processing styles.

Seeing someone's body language, making eye contact, seeing and hearing their voice, maybe even a "are you a hugger because I feel like we're friends now." Parenting is hard. Parenting without a strong support of people in your life who get it feels impossible. That's why a branch of our mission at Postpartum Together is...
