Thriving as a Couple After Baby

June 27 @ 10:00 am - 2:30 pm
Free
Newborn Care

This interactive half-day workshop is designed to help couples navigate one of the most challenging and meaningful transitions in life: becoming parents while staying connected as partners. Drawing from the work of John and Julie Gottman, Eve Rodsky, and relational insights from Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, this class blends science, structure, and real-life application.

Participants will leave with concrete tools to reduce conflict, increase emotional connection, and function as a team in the midst of parenting demands.

By the end of the workshop, couples will be able to:

  • Understand why relationship satisfaction often declines after having children—and how to prevent it
  • Recognize and interrupt common negative patterns (criticism, defensiveness, withdrawal)
  • Improve communication during high-stress parenting moments
  • Develop a more equitable and transparent division of labor at home
  • Strengthen emotional and physical intimacy post-baby
  • Shift from “being right” or reactive to being intentional and relational

Class is free to attend and you can register here.
