Relationships shift dramatically once a baby enters the chat. Honestly, it might be the biggest transition your partnership will ever face! Our guests this week are the incredible Tarah and EJ Kerwin — a married couple, both mental health practitioners, who run the Relationship Renovation Counseling Center and host the Relationship Renovation Podcast, where they tackle marriage, intimacy, and communication head-on. What makes them especially unique? They don’t just teach this stuff… they’ve lived it. After having children, their marriage hit a breaking point and nearly ended. Now, they’re sharing what pulled them back from the edge — and the tools they now use to help thousands of couples do the same. We discuss the effects of resentment, rage, intimacy issues and sleep deprivation on our relationships AND how to get back on the same team as your partner. Buckle up, it's a good one!

Now WAIT—I know what you’re thinking… finance is probably your least favorite “F” word too. But when it comes to family planning and fertility treatments, it’s an important piece of the puzzle. We’ve talked about the emotional side of fertility struggles and IVF on the show before, but today we’re pulling back the curtain on the financial reality. Because let’s be honest—things like IVF, egg freezing, and other treatments can be really expensive. And to make matters more complicated, insurance doesn’t always cover them. So what are we supposed to do? This week, Claire Tomkins, CEO & Founder of Future Family (and mom of three via IVF) joins the show. After six rounds of IVF (and over $100K) to conceive her first child, she became passionate about making fertility care more accessible and founded Future Family to help others navigate the process. In this episode, we cover: ✨ The real costs behind IVF, egg freezing, and other common fertility treatments ✨ Creative ways to make treatments more financially manageable ✨ The role of insurance and what to look out for in your benefits ✨ Claire’s personal advice for anyone thinking about or currently going through the process If you or someone you love is exploring fertility treatments, this episode is a must-listen!
