The Hardest Parts of Parenthood & Partnership No One Talks About (& How We’re Working Through Them)
One of the biggest catalysts for growth and change happens when you become parents, but there’s so much that isn’t talked about in this transition. In this deeply personal episode, Britt is joined by her husband David for an honest look at how parenthood can stir up old wounds, activate your nervous system, and bring your attachment history to the surface. Together, they reflect on their relationship journey—from meeting while Britt was still in the thick of trauma recovery, to navigating codependency in their early years, to finding their footing as parents. They talk about the overstimulation, grief, and identity shifts that come with raising kids, the most rewarding lessons they’ve learned along the way, and their shared dreams for the future.
