On Becoming Parents

On this episode, we are joined by an amazing couple - Ope and Oyinkan who share their journey through sleep deprivation, sleep training their little one - Tamilore and having hard conversations about parenting workplace productivity. There’s loads to learn from this one and it’s definitely one you’d enjoy if you are a working or stay at home parent or likely to be one in future.

One thing many new couples hardly prepare for is how much their relationship will change when the baby arrives. Listen to us bluntly discuss how we navigate our changing relationship dynamics after welcoming our little one. We hope you'll find our thoughts and experiences useful in shaping how you go about yours. Please note, there are some references to intimacy which may not be suitable for listeners younger than 18.
