Better Relationships After Baby

This refreshingly honest podcast tackles one of parenthood's biggest challenges: maintaining a strong relationship with your partner while navigating the chaos of raising children. Host Chelsea Skaggs brings her expertise as a life and relationship coach to create a space where nothing is off-limits. What sets "Better Relationships After Baby" apart is Chelsea's ability to identify relatable relationship patterns and break them down with compassion and clarity. In the episode focusing on communication styles during arguments, she expertly unpacks the fight/flight response that creates tension between partners (the "loud" partner versus the "shut down" partner) and offers practical solutions for both sides. Chelsea's approach is never judgmental. Instead, she validates both perspectives while providing actionable steps for breaking destructive cycles. Her emphasis on understanding nervous system responses rather than simply labeling behavior as personality differences is particularly insightful. The podcast balances theoretical knowledge with practical application, making complex relationship dynamics accessible without oversimplification. Chelsea's authentic personality shines through her casual, conversational style, making listeners feel like they're getting advice from a knowledgeable friend rather than a distant expert. For new parents struggling to reconnect or established parents looking to strengthen their bond, "Better Relationships After Baby" offers a valuable resource that acknowledges the challenges while providing hope and practical tools for positive change.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Finally someone who gets parenthood from my perspective! Just listened to your latest podcast episode on Parental Stress 👏👏👏 SO relatable. SO needed. And very VERY much heard! Thank you for doing what you do - for articulating the things that are so hard to put into words sometimes. 💜 Incredibly thankful for you and this podcast!

I’ve followed Chelsea on Instagram for years and have loved her passion for moms and our relationships. When she came out with this podcast I sang from the mountain tops! Chelsea is not only an expert in all she talks about but she’s also a real, raw and relatable mom who has an honest but approachable way of talking to us. I look forward to her episodes and how she makes me feel like I’m not going crazy and I’m not the only one. I also love humor in my life so I appreciate Chelsea’s style and humor she tosses in throughout her episodes. Looking forward to more!
