We explore:Preparing for the impact that new parenthood might have on your relationshipHow the landscape in which we are parenting impacts our relationshipsTraditional gender roles How parenthood impacts intimacy Communication and how to improve itLove LanguagesBirth trauma and it's impact on relationshipsNB: Some (not all) of this conversation focuses on a hetrosexual (Male & Female/ Dad & Mum) partnership, in order to explore some of the traditional gender roles and sexism that impact romantic heterosexual relationships. Of course not all families will be 2 parent or heterosexual, hopefully still lots here that anyone in a relationship with their child's other parent can take away!____________________________________________________________Dr Jenna Brough LinksWebsite: https://www.drjennapsychologist.com/ Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6uZ30WckY4PRlMUuxQ7XRwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.jenna.psychologist/______________________________________________SPONSORSThis episode is sponsored by Little List and The Night Owl, Music and Lullabies for Babies and ChildrenStart your list with Little List today!Listen to The Night Owl Sings Nursery Rhymes on Spotify or Apple MusicMusic Playing: 'Teddy Bear's Picnic (Instrumental)' from The Night Owl Sings LullabiesSupport the showSupport the show
