Navigating Relationship Challenges after Kids: Resentment, Parenting, Intimacy + Sex with Dr. Tracy

Clinical Psychologist and Couples Therapist Dr. Tracy Dalgleish joins the show to explore the realities of relationships after having kids. We dive into navigating conflict and resentment, rebuilding intimacy and redefining what sex and connection look like amidst the overwhelm of parenting. If you’ve ever wondered how to reignite connection, joy and playfulness in your relationship after kids, this episode is for you!

We discuss:

-Why parents of young children spend just 30 minutes a week connecting (and how to change that)

-Simple rituals to reconnect with your partner in 5 minutes or less

-How to divide tasks fairly and avoid resentment

-Six different types of intimacy—and why sex is just one of them

-Ways to reignite desire and explore sex after kids without pressure

-Tips for managing in-laws and extended family as a couple

-How to set boundaries that help you stay connected

-How to know when couples therapy or other supports might help

Dr. Tracy also shares her own motherhood story, including miscarriage, a surprise c-section, marriage challenges and how those experiences shaped her work supporting couples today.

Whether you’re struggling with communication, longing for more intimacy, or just want to strengthen your relationship with your partner, this episode is packed with practical tools you can start using right away!
