Do you remember life before kids? For some, it feels like forever ago. For others, it’s as clear as yesterday. New mom Emilie White, President & CEO of The Relish Jar, is soaking up the baby snuggles and giggles with her 4-month-old daughter, Penelope. But alongside the joy, Emilie faced an unexpected challenge- feeling the “loss” of her marriage. Not divorce, but the disconnection many couples experience in early parenthood. In this candid conversation, Emilie shares:
- What surprised her most about the transition into motherhood
- How she and her husband Jake began to rebuild connection after feeling distant
- The ways her identity has shifted as both a wife and business leader
- Practical rhythms and rituals that help them stay connected in busy seasons
- Encouragement for moms who may feel the same loss of connection in their marriage
Stick around until the end for a fun lightning round where Emilie reveals:
- Her go-to comfort food after a long day
- Whether she prefers sweatpants nights in or date nights out
- One parenting rule she swore she’d never break—but totally does now
This episode is an honest reminder that while connection takes work, it’s worth every step.
