205 Relationships and Sex After Baby with Chelsea Skaggs
Today Heidi interviewed Chelsea Skaggs, the founder of Postpartum Together, a coaching program for parents to continue to grow their relationship after having kids. Here is a little more about Chelsea Skaggs and this episode. In Chelsea's words: "Having a baby creates a huge shift in your relationship. More than half of couples report decreased satisfaction in their marriage after having a baby, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s no sugar coating that it’s humbling and hard work to understand yourself and your partner in the midst of such a big change but there are ways to become better at communicating and connecting so that you’re more of a team moving through the changes together." 3 Key takeaways from the podcast that listeners will learn today: Point 1: You need to understand where you keep looping in arguments and why that’s happening Point 2: Understand when you’re telling yourself a story and need to get accurate details from your partner Point 3: Sex probably isn’t going to look the same as it did before, and that’s cool 3 Keywords that people would want to search when looking for content that you would provide in this episode: Point 1: Relationship Coaching Point 2: Sex after baby Point 3: After kids Favorite baby product or new motherhood product? What would you buy for someone who was currently pregnant or a new parent?: Larken Nursing/Pumping bra (I still wear it 6 mo PP because it’s so cozy!) Chelsea is a certified life and relationship coach who helps expecting and new parents to get out of the resentment and disconnect and build a relationship they are proud of so that they can enjoy the life they’ve built. She is a mom of two and her family lives in Central Ohio.
