In this episode of The Hot Mess Mom Boss Podcast, show hosts Brianna Hall and Courtney O'Ferrall discuss how having empathy is crucial in navigating resentment in marriage after kids.
In this episode, Brianna and Courtney dive deep into the ways parenting can create stress and how that stress often leads to resentment in relationships. They reflect on the importance of enjoying time together before kids, understanding each other’s roles, and openly communicating about the pressures of balancing work and family life.
They explore how personal growth and relationship success often come at a cost—one that needs to be evaluated continuously as life evolves. The conversation also covers the need to recognize and support each other’s trauma, celebrate contributions within a relationship, and put in the ongoing effort required to maintain a healthy and vibrant connection.
Brianna and Courtney also share practical strategies like asking for specific expressions of love, using therapy alternatives, and leaning into community support beyond your partner. From engaging with positive social media content to checking out free library resources and joining church or mom groups, this episode is packed with real talk and actionable ideas for nurturing your relationships and personal growth.
