One night, about 8 years ago, Mike and I sat down on the couch after yet another meltdown (both ours and the baby’s.)

We had just spent the last hour debating whether we should try sleep training again or keep pushing through the fog of sleepless nights.
Our nervous systems were shot.
Our bodies were completely touched out.
And even though we had said earlier that day,

We sat down… and just stared at each other.
We had nothing left. Not even a conversation starter.
Our brains felt like scrambled eggs.
Everything felt like too much.

So Mike pulled out some old conversation cards he happened to have in his work bag from an event.
They weren’t deep.
They weren’t magic.
But they helped.
They got us started when we felt so out of practice.

Because when your brain can’t hold one more task, when you want to connect but can’t think of what to say,
​structure is everything.

And honestly? We’ve come back to that kind of structure again and again.

➡️ When we had a 2 & 4-year-old climbing furniture like tiny daredevils, constantly testing limits their brains couldn’t fully understand (hello, anxiety).

➡️ Now with a 6 & 8-year-old who need so much stimulation—emotionally, physically, mentally—sometimes we sit down at night and feel like our own minds are just… mush.

And yet, we still crave each other.
We still want to feel like we’re a team.
We just don’t always have the bandwidth to figure out how.

That’s why we (Yes, Mike has been helping!) created the Reconnection Kit for Couples After Baby.
Because we needed it too.

It’s not about having deep talks or planning elaborate date nights.​
It’s about tiny, doable shifts.
Little prompts.
5-minute sparks of “us-ness” that make the hard seasons feel lighter.

Here's what we included because we think they'll give you big improvements too:

✨ 30 Spark Prompts — So you don’t have to think of what to say
✨ 20 At-Home Date Night Ideas — Fun without the sitter or the stress
✨ Resentment Repair Scripts — So you can ask for what you need without triggering a blow-up
✨ A Body Image Healing Guide — Because your relationship with yourself matters here, too
✨ A Couples Podcast Playlist — Short convos, big perspective shifts

It’s the kind of thing you can use on the couch, during nap time, or while eating chips in bed.
It’s a little injection of connection and serotonin in a season where both are running low.

​Grab the Reconnection Kit now—it’s on sale for the first 100 couples.​

Because you can feel like a team again.
Even when life is loud, your kids are climbing things, and your brain feels like soup.

You just need something that makes it easier.

Big love,
Chelsea

PS: Here we were on that night we pulled conversation starters out of Mike's work bag. (That was a really hard season in our marriage, which we actually talk about in detail on tomorrow's podcast episode, so don't miss it!)
