10 Surprising Ways Having Kids Changes Your Relationship (No One Tells You This)

This episode comes a client who said, “Why did no one tell me what this would really be like?” And they’re right. No one tells you what having kids does to your relationship.

No one warns you about how having kids changes everything between you.You expect the nappies, the sleep deprivation, the chaos.

What you don’t expect is the mental load, the intimacy shifts, the disconnection that creeps in when life gets full.

What about when you feel more like co-managers than a couple?What about when you’re touched out and they’re touch starved?

Or when resentment builds because one of you is carrying the whole mental load and it never even gets talked about?

This episode is for any couple who feels like something’s shifted and isn’t sure how to get back on the same page.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

- Why one of you might be craving touch while the other is completely touched out

- What to say when you’re feeling more like housemates than lovers

- The tiny habits that keep you close through the chaos

- Why your conversations start sounding more like a logistics meeting

- What to do when you’re craving alone time but feel too guilty to ask for it

- The resentment that builds silently when you don’t say what you need

- How sex, identity, affection and connection all shift after kids

I’ll show you the tiny things that keep you close.
