Parenthood and maintaining a healthy relationship are ambitious endeavors. Being fully aware, you armed yourself with all the latest books, articles, podcasts, and resources, committed to being present and strong for your family. Yet, despite embracing every piece of advice and strategy in your search for reassurance, there are times you find yourself wondering why the harmony, connection, and closeness you envisioned seem out of reach. If this rings true, let me tell you: itās not you! Itās what they didnāt tell you. The parenting guidance and strategies we read online lack depth. They hardly ever address the transition into parenthood and the profound impact this has on our identity, partnerships, and ability to show up as the parent we wish to be for our children. But guess what? Weāre about to turn that around. Hi there, Iām Markella Kaplani. A clinical-counseling psychologist, a parenthood and relationship Coach, a matrescence coach and facilitator, a former special educator, and a parent myself. In my 15+ years in counseling and coaching, I know this to be true: once a parent is truly supported, not only through being given techniques to overcome parenting challenges, but on a personal and relational level, then the entire family can thrive. So, welcome to the Parenthood and Relationship Podcast! Here, we learn to grow individually, normalizing and validating the processes of matrescence and patrescence (i.e. struggling with identity, mom guilt, dad guilt, postpartum rage, work-life balance, etc). We also grow together by unraveling how parenthood affects marriage and what stands in the way of following the actionable parenting strategies that we know are helpful. So, if youāre feeling ready, let me hold your hand while we tackle intriguing, yet difficult topics, with compassion and curiosity.

Does becoming a mom mean that we have to lose ourselves and our passions?
šļø For many of us who thought that our multi-faceted interests would fade as we stepped into motherhood on account of our deep love for our children, the fact that we can both want to be with them 24/7 while still yearning for the things that used to make us whole, can create intense internal turmoil.
In todayās episode, we talk about:
šĀ The lingering need for personal goals, passions, & fulfillment outside of motherhood
š The societal norms that villainize this need, leading to mommy guilt and shame
š Gentle ways to re-discover our passions & how make time for them even if we feel like an overwhelmed mom
š The key role that our self-fulfillment plays in the healthy development of our children
Ā
Join me so that we can normalize being multi-layered and finding balance as a mom.Ā
Together we can take steps in the direction of overcoming mom guilt!
The reality of motherhood is very different than what the media and society have us believe. And itās much more balanced and healthy like that!Ā
