Why is no one talking about the strain that can happen on a relationship after you become parents? The data shows that couples struggling to keep their relationship in tact after they become parents is extremely common. Here's the thing-if we know what to expect, we can prepare for it and get some tools in our toolbox to help us navigate the transition in a way that strengthens our relationship, rather than making it fall apart. After 4 years of marriage and 2 kids later, I'm sharing my 7 best tips that I wish I knew before my husband and I became mom and dad.

// ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Mia! I'm a wife and mom of 2 kids under 3. I went through severe postpartum depression and anxiety twice, and I also am an abuse survivor. After 3 years of motherhood and 2 years of therapy, I have learned some amazing mindset shifts and strategies that have helped me become the happiest and strongest I've been in my entire life. I'm so thankful that I had this opportunity and second chance at life, and I want to share what I learn with all of you! I believe that regardless of where you come from or how much money you make, all mothers deserve to thrive, and I want to make resources that help you do just that!
