Today I had the pleasure of interviewing an old friend, Dr Liz Jenkins. She helps couples reconnect, repair, and reignite their love, quickly transforming their relationships or marriages into their early years' connection and passion. Married for 37+ years, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Certified Connection Coach.

What are some common misconceptions about romance and partnership after becoming parents?
How can mums navigate feelings of resentment or imbalance when one partner seems less involved with parenting or household responsibilities?
What’s the first step couples can take to start rebuilding their connection if they feel distant?
How can busy parents create space for intimacy when it feels like there’s no time or energy?
Many mums struggle to feel sexy or desirable after kids—how can they work through these feelings?
What are some red flags that indicate a couple may need to prioritise their relationship more?
Can you share a few small, daily habits or rituals that can help couples feel closer?
What are some creative or unexpected ways to plan date nights when time and resources are limited?
What’s the best piece of advice you give to parents struggling to rekindle their connection?
What’s one thing mums should stop doing that’s holding them back from feeling closer to their partners?
