69: Communicating During Pregnancy with Amanda Houle

Author: HeHe Stewart October 23, 2018 Duration: 53:24
Today, HeHe is chatting with Amanda Houle, Designer Nanny and Parenting Guru to explore just what you should be talking about with your partner before your baby gets here. We pay so much attention to the birth, but have you talked about your individual parentings styles or your expectations from one another? Have you talked about the language you will use or if you will stop swearing once the baby is born? Have you thought about how each of you feel about childcare options? These are things that parents often find themselves unprepared to make these decisions and without the time to devote to being intentional. Amanda will dive into her recommended parenting style, how you can gain control over your home, and find your balance again. They even dive in to mom-shaming and the nasty mind-games that go along with parenting in 2018. Amanda shares her appraoch to setting boundaries with nosey nancies and judgey janes. Buckle up beucase you're about to have your pants inspired off!
