EP. 39: “He Says I Changed After Kids… I Think He Misses His ‘Barbie Doll’ Version of Me”

from Life and Love by Design · host Odette Coronel

I was shocked when I read the title of this Reddit story! My daughter brought it to my attention, and I knew I had to make a podcast episode about it. Not just because I’m a relationship coach, but because I’ve lived through this before, too. I’ve had the “you changed” conversation before. And the more I work with couples, the more I see this conversation come up. And honestly, it’s normal! Because we are all changing all the time. So how do we work through this period of change without resenting each other? In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the Reddit story, “He Says I Changed After Kids… I Think He Misses His ‘Barbie Doll’ Version of Me.” First of all, you can tell the author of this post is hurting. But I don’t entirely think it’s her husband's fault. Actually, I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault. Tune in to this week’s episode to hear my thoughts on this shocking Reddit story and what solutions I have for this couple during this season of change. How to work with Odette:Book a free consultation call for the Next Level Woman: Life & Love by Design Experience here!Check out more information on the Next Level Woman: Life & Love by Design Experience, Odette’s six-month coaching program, here!Book a consultation call for Odettes’s Life Coaching Services here! Book a consultation call for Odettes’s Couples Coaching Services here! Sign up for a Complimentary RELATIONSHIP & LIFE ALIGNMENT AUDITBuy the Re-ignite Your Spark Journal here! Follow Odette on:Instagram @‌odettecoronelcoachingTikTok @‌odetterelationshipcoach   LinkedIn: Odette CoronelWebsite:www.odettecoronel.comPodcast production for this episode was provided by CCST, an Afro-Latina-owned boutique podcast production and copywriting studio.
