    The Inner Room: How to Stay on the Same Team When You’re Both Depleted with Eli Weinstein

    There’s a version of partnership we imagine before kids and then there’s the one we’re living inside afterward. The one shaped by sleep deprivation, mental load, shifting identities, and the quiet pressure to keep everything together. In this conversation, host Vanessa Spinarky and guest Eli Weinstein explore the emotional transition from “I do” to “we do” ... not as a romantic milestone, but as a relational and nervous system shift. They talk about postpartum anxiety in partners, the way both people can feel unseen at the same time, and how communication changes when survival mode becomes the backdrop of daily life. This episode holds space for couples who don’t feel broken, but do feel tired. For parents who still love each other, but don’t always know how to reach each other. It’s about staying in connection, even when capacity is low and the relationship feels more like a system than a sanctuary. 🔗 Stay Connected Follow Vanessa on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/vanessa.spinarsky Follow Eli on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/eliweinstein_lcsw 📘 Pre-Order Eli’s Book — From I Do to We Do Canadian Amazonhttps://www.amazon.ca/dp/1394318693 U.S. Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/Partners-Parenting-Eli-Weinstein/dp/1394318693 Order via Eli’s Websitehttps://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/book 🎧 Listen to Eli’s Podcast The Dude Therapist Available on all major streaming platforms.

    The Inner Room: Everyone Wants to Know What Side You’re On

    The world feels louder when everything is framed as a side to choose. In this episode, Vanessa explores the emotional and relational impact of binary thinking: in culture, in parenting, in advocacy, and in how we judge one another. She reflects on the invisible pressure to be seen as “good,” “aware,” or “on the right side,” and how that pressure can quietly shape our nervous systems and our relationships. Drawing from her own experience with perfectionism and moral identity, Vanessa looks at what happens when we assign intent to people we don’t actually know, and how quickly silence becomes a story instead of a question. This episode isn’t about having better opinions. It’s about creating more room for complexity, for growth, and for the uncomfortable but human experience of not always knowing where you stand or why someone else stands where they do.
