Alex and Shane chat about getting back to normal life, Betty turning one, getting out of the "baby" phase, and the downsides of vacation time. 

 

Author of "How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids," Jancee Dunn, shares her knowledge about maternal gatekeeping, how to argue with your spouse, how to avoid feelings of resentment, and gives some advice for getting your relationship back on track after kids enter the picture.

 

@MommyLabourNurse AKA Liesel Teen discusses her own birth experiences, cord clamping, tearing, myth-busts labour and delivery rumours, and compares medicated/unmedicated birthing. 

 

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like thinking about other relationships, baby names, creating comedy TikToks, the most important qualities we want to instill in our daughters, what constitutes being a good parent, and travelling with a poorly sleeping baby.
