In this episode, we dive into a conversation with Matthew and Shanon Morris, a dynamic couple who are redefining a partner’s purpose during pregnancy and what it means to offer true support. After navigating a whirlwind of life changes—including job losses, a pregnancy, and a cross-country move—their journey inspired the creation of The Partner’s Purpose During Pregnancy, a guide to help partners take an active, meaningful role during pregnancy and beyond.

 

Matthew and Shanon share how they turned challenges into opportunities, diving deep into research and even traveling to 15 countries to understand how different cultures approach pregnancy and birth. They discuss how their discoveries shaped their parenting philosophy and how their book aims to empower partners with actionable advice.

 

Whether you're a partner feeling overlooked during pregnancy or a parent seeking better teamwork in your relationship, this episode offers invaluable insights on:

  • The critical role of partners in reducing stress and fostering a positive birth experience.
  • Tangible ways to prepare for the mental and emotional challenges of parenthood.
  • How clear communication and shared responsibilities strengthen family bonds.
