How to Work Smarter with Your Partner — and Come Back Together After Your First Child

I welcome therapist, podcast host and author Eli Weinstein onto the show this week to talk all about how couples struggle to communicate after having their first baby and how to find your way back. After having a baby so many couples find themselves exhausted and blaming each other for everything. They lose the love and consideration that used to be there and wonder if she should still be together. It's not something they tell you when you get pregnant, that's for sure. 

We get into the weeds with how to find your way back to communicating with your partner, feeling validated within the relationship and even taking a look at mens postpartum. This conversation isn't just for new parents though. This is for couples who need help finding how to communicate together again or even for the first time. 

In Eli's book, From I Do to We Do: Navigating Marriage in Parenting Years (due out in March 2026) he discusses what really happens to our partnerships after kids, why even the strongest couples hit unexpected friction, and how we can rebuild connection, intimacy, and teamwork without adding more “to-dos” to already overwhelmed lives. It’s raw stories, zero fluff, clinically-backed tools, and the kind of humor you need when you’re sleep-deprived and wondering what happened to your marriage.
