Episode Description from the Publisher

Everyone talks about how a baby changes your body — but no one talks enough about how deeply it can change your marriage and relationships.In this honest and emotionally raw episode of the Womb & Word Podcast, host Kim sits down with licensed therapist, couples counselor, and parental mental health specialist Jennifer C. Williams to unpack the realities many couples silently experience after having a baby.Together, they discuss postpartum loneliness, emotional disconnect, communication struggles, sleep deprivation, intimacy after baby, postpartum depression in both mothers and fathers, and how parenthood can shift identity, partnership, and emotional connection.Jennifer shares practical insight on how couples can create emotional safety, communicate more effectively during stressful seasons, navigate postpartum changes together, and reconnect even when life feels overwhelming.This episode is a reminder that struggling after baby does not mean your relationship is failing — and that support, grace, honest communication, and community matter more than perfection.Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, trying to conceive, or supporting a growing family, this conversation offers real, compassionate guidance for navigating marriage and mental health during parenthood.🎙️ Follow Womb & Word Podcast:Instagram: @wombandwordpod📲 Follow Jennifer C.
