The Parenthood and Relationship Podcast | Matrescence | Relationship after baby | Motherhood life

Parenthood changes everything, doesn’t it? Suddenly, life revolves around the baby, and for many dads, it can feel like they’ve been pushed into the background.
If you’ve ever felt sidelined, like the affection and attention you once shared with your partner has shifted entirely to the kids, this episode is for you.
And moms, while this episode speaks directly to dads, it offers insights that benefit you just as much. Many women start to feel as though their husband is jealous of the baby or the kids but the truth lies elsewhere.
By understanding what your partner might be feeling, you’ll discover ways to navigate these challenges together with empathy.
Moms often feel overwhelmed and under-supported, and this episode will help you see how to bridge the gap, foster empathy, and reconnect as a team—without adding extra pressure to your already full plate.
👉 Today, we uncover:
💔 Why dads often feel invisible after baby
🌀 The resentment cycle that quietly builds in relationships
