Q&A: Parenthood Changed Everything… Here’s What We Didn’t Expect (Part 2 with My Husband)

In this Part 2 episode with my husband Greg, we get real about what actually happens after the baby arrives. The emotional shifts, the unexpected challenges, and the moments that completely reshape how we see life, marriage, and even our careers. We talk about what surprised us most about newborn life, how becoming parents impacted our relationship, and why the changes were way more mental and emotional than we ever expected. Greg opens up about when it finally “clicked” for him as a dad, and I share what it feels like to experience both the deepest joy and the most intense fear at the same time. We also get into: How parenthood changed our outlook on life and business The reality of decision-making as new parents The emotional weight of raising a child and wanting to do everything right Marriage dynamics after a baby Our thoughts on having more kids and growing our family The truth about building a business during different seasons of life Advice for anyone starting in content creation and why “cringe” is actually your advantage Dog training, routines, and managing a household with a newborn How we got through hard business seasons and what keeps us going This episode is honest, unfiltered, and a continuation of a conversation so many couples are navigating but not always talking about openly. If you’re a new parent, thinking about becoming one, or just curious about how life really changes, this one is for you. _____ Leave Me a Message -⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari’s Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast’s Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari’s Newsletter⁠ click here!⁠ For Mari’s TikTok⁠ click here!
