20) Parental Mental Health: Partner Check-ins and Relationship Self-Care with Dr. Naomi

In honor of Parental Mental Health Day, Dam Parenting is tackling a topic that often goes unspoken: the mental health of the partnership. When life gets busy in the Netherlands, it’s easy to let your relationship slide into a series of logistical hand-offs. We’re joined by resident psychologist Dr. Naomi Gibson for a warm, honest, and direct conversation about why nurturing your bond is essential for your family's well-being.

We explore how "unseen" mental health struggles can create cracks in even the strongest foundations. Dr. Naomi shares practical ways to check in with your partner to ensure you both get the rest, space, and fun you need to thrive—not just survive. If you’ve felt like you and your partner are ships passing in the night, this episode is a timely reminder to pause, reconnect, and reinvest in the person you started this journey with. Because a healthy parent begins with a supported partner.
