  • Why Every Parent Needs a Mom Group or Dad Group: The Science of Connection

    Why Every Parent Needs a Mom Group or Dad Group: The Science of Connection
    Nov 11 2025
    Modern parenthood wasn’t meant to be a solo project, yet so many new moms and dads are trying to figure it out in isolation. We scroll, read, and listen to every parenting podcast, but at the end of the day, it still feels lonely. The truth is, no amount of information can replace the transformation that happens in community.In this episode of the Better Relationships After Baby Podcast, Chelsea and Mike dig into the power of group connection — why real change happens faster when parents have support, accountability, and belonging. They unpack what science and psychology show us about group learning and why joining a Mom Group or Dad Group can radically shift how couples communicate and cope in early parenthood.Why you can’t self-help your way out of postpartum lonelinessThe science of co-regulation and why community calms your nervous systemHow group learning builds real-life communication skills (thanks, Bandura!)The difference between therapy and postpartum coaching and how they work togetherWhy peer support and accountability make new habits stickHow virtual groups for parents create connection, even when you can’t leave the houseWhat happens when one partner spirals, and how community creates a ripple of healing for the whole familyChelsea and Mike also share personal stories from their own experience running online parent groups for the past five years. From the first-time mom who finally said, “I’m not broken , I just needed other women who get it,” to the new dad who realized that he didn’t have to fix everything, just show up...these are the moments that remind us we were never meant to do this alone.Research continues to show that new parent support groups lower rates of postpartum depression and anxiety for both mothers and partners. Group coaching allows couples to learn and practice new skills in a safe, encouraging environment. Unlike anonymous online threads, a guided virtual group combines real relationships, evidence-based tools, and accountability that actually creates growth.In a season where life can feel like a blur of bottles, diapers, and exhaustion, having a space that’s just for you, one that helps you regulate, reflect, and reconnect, isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.Chelsea and Mike explain how postpartum coaching helps couples after baby rebuild their foundation. When stress runs high, our brains go into survival mode — fight, flight, or freeze. But in a group setting, you learn how to interrupt those patterns, communicate effectively, and show up as teammates instead of adversaries. It’s where you can practice the conversations you’ve been avoiding, get feedback from peers who are in the same season, and walk away with language you can use that same night at home.If you’ve ever ended the day back-to-back with your partner, each on your phones, wondering why connection feels so hard, then this episode is for you. Whether you’re an expecting couple, new parents in the thick of it, or a few years in and still trying to find your rhythm, community is the missing piece most families are craving.Chelsea and Mike’s Mom Group (Mondays at 7PM ET) and Dad Group (Tuesdays at 7PM ET) are small, virtual groups designed for real-life parents who want practical tools, a sense of belonging, and conversations that go deeper than social media highlight reels.Week One is free so there's no pressure, no performance, just a chance to see what it feels like to be part of a community built around growth and honesty.Tune in and learn why the future of strong families starts with strong communities.Questions?

  • Anchored, Not Stoic: How Dads Can Steady the Postpartum Home

    Anchored, Not Stoic: How Dads Can Steady the Postpartum Home
    Nov 4 2025

    When a new baby arrives, the whole family’s nervous system changes. In this episode, we’re talking about what helps families thrive in the postpartum season, especially how dads and partners can become the steady, emotionally present anchor their home needs.

    We break down:

    • What it means to be anchored, not stoic (emotional presence vs. emotional shutdown)

    • Why nervous system regulation and co-regulation are game-changers for moms, dads, and babies

    • Two practical breathing tools (Wim Hof method + 4-2-6-2 pattern) that calm your body fast

    • How to create a “commute reset” to shift from work mode to family mode

    • Micro-scripts for staying connected instead of defensive in tough moments

    • The link between emotionally present partners and lower postpartum depression rates

    This conversation is for dads, partners, and anyone who wants to understand how emotional steadiness and nervous system awareness can transform postpartum relationships.

    Stay to the end for a short behind-the-scenes chat about how parenting, research, and humanity are evolving (and why this generation of parents has the tools to do it differently.)

  • Behind the Scenes: How We Talk About Emotional Steadiness (Without Sounding Stoic)

    Behind the Scenes: How We Talk About Emotional Steadiness (Without Sounding Stoic)
    Nov 2 2025

    We're pulling back the curtain. This is our real planning convo on how we align language, debate “steady vs. stoic,” and map the tools before we get into a weekly podcast episode. It’s messy, honest, and meant to bring you right in the room with us.

    This isn’t a polished episode; it’s the actual conversation we had to plan Tuesday’s show. We hash out what “steadiness” really means (not robotic, not shut down), talk nervous system regulation and “anchored presence,” and decide how to communicate it so both partners feel seen. You’ll hear how we align language, challenge each other’s angles, and turn lived moments into something you can try at home.
    If you love the raw, unfiltered build-up before the mic goes live, tell us...should we do more Behind the Scenes?
