• Communicate clearly without shutdowns or blow-ups
• Reduce resentment and mental load in motherhood and marriage
• Reconnect emotionally and rebuild intimacy after kids
• Create a healthier, more connected marriage in the middle of busy family life

Ep. 262 - Feeling Like Roommates Doesn't Mean Your Marriage Is Failing
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Feeling like roommates after becoming parents is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — phases of marriage.
If your relationship feels more operational than romantic..
In this episode, I dive into why feeling like roommates doesn’t mean your marriage is broken — it means connection has been deprioritized. She breaks down how parenting shifts things between you two, how emotional distance builds slowly through habits, and why waiting for “more time” rarely fixes things.
You’ll learn:
- Why the roommate phase happens after kids
- The subtle ways couples drift apart without realizing it
- What happens when you accept disconnection as “normal”
- Why awareness alone doesn’t create change
- How couples rebuild connection without forcing romance
If you’re craving more closeness, ease, and partnership — and you’re ready to stop settling for “fine” — this episode will help you see what’s possible.
