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: it’s not you! It’s what they didn’t 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? We’re about to turn that around. Hi there, I’m 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 you’re feeling ready, let me hold your hand while we tackle intriguing, yet difficult topics, with compassion and curiosity.

Parenthood and the responsibilities of parenting change us and define our relationship with our partners from the time we become parents.
This is not synonymous with having relationship problems after the baby.
In fact, this transformation that happens both within yourself and in the way you relate to your partner, can benefit you greatly - it can bring you closer together if you nurture your relationship.
And that is exactly what we talk about in this episode. More specifically, we discuss the
👉 common long term relationship problems that many couples face after having kids
👉 importance of keeping our relationship strong
👉 ways to recognize whether the distance between us is part of the process or becoming problematic
👉 communication issues that arise when we avoid the tough conversations
👉 10 realistic ways to reconnect with our partners
