How To Connect When You're Tired

“When you’re tired, there’s a lot of things that you’re unable to do.”

—  Allison Villa

How do we connect meaningfully with our partners when we are just so tired?

While being a parent can be one of the most wonderful and fulfilling experiences, it can also be exhausting — physically, mentally, and emotionally. 

It can be very easy to put off reconnecting with your partner until you feel less tired, but you may find that days turn into weeks (or even months) before you realize it. And you’re still tired.

It can be a challenge to find that extra energy to connect with your partner when you’re giving so much of yourself to your children, but it’s so important for your couple.

This episode is all about practical, actionable tips to help you and your partner support each other in parenthood, reduce your levels of stress and exhaustion, and create new space for connection.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of Couplehood,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

• How you and your partner can help each other enjoy better sleep and have more energy throughout the day 
• 3 simple ways that you can show each other love — even when you’re exhausted 
• Why a daily gratitude practice is such an effective way to connect
