Before you can succeed at parenting, you must first succeed as a couple. Today’s episode is for all the new parents, soon-to-be parents, or wanna-be future parents like myself. 

Today is an exciting day because I have not one but two guests joining me on the show. Kara Hoppe and Dr. Stan Tatkin join us on the show to discuss their new book Baby Bomb: A relationship survival guide for new parents. Baby Bomb is the resource you need when a new baby turns your life—and your romantic relationship—upside down. 

Today we're chatting about... 

  • How you and your partner can co-parent and co-partner as a solid and supportive team— while also cultivating mad love for each other
  • Why Stan and Kara wrote Baby Bomb
  • How a secure-functioning relationship is essential for raising happy, healthy kids
  • Why it’s important to put the relationship before baby
  • What couples can do when a new baby turns their life upside down
  • Why babies don’t save marriages
  • The importance of letting your partner know they are a priority
  • Why it’s a benefit to step back as a new mom and receive care 
  • How to communicate your needs better to your partner
  • What to do when you're jealous of your own baby
  • How to keep intimacy alive after baby
  • The importance of meeting your own individual needs
  • Grieving your pre-baby life
  • Why it’s important your relationship is in good shape before baby
