I'm joined by Hilary and we share our unfiltered experience navigating marriage, sex and infant sleep in new motherhood.

We discuss discernment between 'desires' versus 'shoulds' in motherhood, the importance of open communication in marriage, and unlearning societal pressures to be the "perfect" mother and wife.

At the end, we share contrasting experiences and insights from a sleep training and non-sleep training perspective and find commonality between the anxiety infant sleep has brought us.
