Episode What No One Told You Would Change Your Relationship After Having a Baby with Rachel Shepard Ohta
This episode explores how having a baby reshapes a couple’s relationship in ways few anticipate, from sleep deprivation and shifting roles to unexpected emotional triggers. Rachel shares her own experiences of disconnection, especially after her second child, and normalizes the challenges couples face when intimacy and teamwork take a hit. She emphasizes adjusting expectations, understanding temperament differences, and remembering that both partners and children are navigating new needs and patterns.
Colter, Lauren, and Rachel talk about:
- Shift in roles & teamwork
- Pressure & expectations
- Sleep deprivation
- Kids’ needs first
- Temperament & triggers
- Connection & reassurance
