What do you do after the fight?
|
Let me ask you something. When you and your partner have a fight, whether big or small, what happens next? Do you find your way back to each other… or does it just sit there? Research shows it’s not the conflict itself that predicts whether couples thrive. It’s whether they know how to repair. In this week’s episode of Better Relationships After Baby, Mike and I get really honest about what repair looks like, why it’s so vulnerable, and how simple shifts can keep you on the same team even in the hard seasons. 🎧
Now let me ask a few more:
If any of those land, here’s the hopeful part: This doesn’t have to be your new normal. That’s exactly what we help couples do in our Prep for Us and Back to Us coaching programs.

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...
