The Impacts of Parenthood On Our Partnerships with Christie Sears Thompson

This week's conversation with LMF therapist and relationship coach Christie Sears Thompson is all about how having children can impact our relationships with our partners, and what we can do to prevent or resolve issues that may arise. Many couples find that their relationships are strained in early parenthood, and Christie explains why this happens, and how she helps couples navigate this transitional time.

In this episode Christie and I talk about:

• The value of caring for our relationships on our children
• Identity loss as a new mom
• Macro issues that impact the early motherhood experience
• The impacts of adding another person (your child) to your relationship
• Communicating expectations
• The benefits of therapy on relationships
