First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes us with the baby carriage. BUT THEN WHAT?!

Navigating marriage after baby can be difficult because let’s face it: a lot has changed. You’re living in unknown territory, learning new roles and new challenges. Dr. Tracy Dalgleish is a psychologist and couple’s therapist, specializing in helping women feel empowered in their relationships. Our conversation gets into the grit of relationships, and she shares evidence-based tools we can all use in our homes.

Let’s get into the good stuff.
-Marriage “seasons” and how to communicate when they don’t align
-Feeling unequipped for your day-to-day
-Prioritizing your marriage with intentionality, not resentment
-Making the choice to do something different

I’m confident these tools will help us all be better wives, mothers, and overall - women! It’s all about the long game… consider this episode an investment.

Dr. Tracy Dalgleish helps empower women and couples to improve their communication and build strong and healthy connections with themselves and their partner through therapy, wellness seminars, and her work outside of the therapy room. She contributes to popular media sites, including Motherly, Huffington Post, and Bustle. In addition to hosting the podcast, “I’m not your shrink” where she dives deeper into clinical knowledge and research in a relatable and informal way, her book “I Didn’t Sign Up For This: A Couples Therapist Shares Real-Life Stories of Breaking Patterns and Finding Joy in Relationships… Including Her Own” will be available in September 2023. A mom of two young children and owner of Ottawa’s mental health clinic, Integrated Wellness, she knows what it means to balance the full load.
