Show Notes
NEW EPISODES COMING IN SEPTEMBER, HIT FOLLOW TO ENSURE YOU WON'T MISS THEM. In this episode, we have Dr. Tracy Dalgleish as a guest: a clinical psychologist and couples therapist with nearly two decades of experience, and the author of I Didn't Sign Up For This.
Tracy brings both deep clinical expertise and a refreshingly honest, evidence-based approach to one of the most under-discussed transitions in modern parenthood — what actually happens to your relationship after baby arrives. And this conversation is exactly the kind of grounded, practical, emotionally intelligent guidance that every new and expecting parent deserves to hear before the newborn stage hits.
Whether you're currently pregnant, deep in the trenches of the first year, or quietly wondering how you and your partner got so disconnected so fast — this episode is for you.
From the Gottman Institute's 67% statistic, to the mental load, resentment, identity shift, interdependence, Fair Play, postpartum intimacy, the touched out nervous system, birth trauma, conflict repair, and the three golden rules for thriving couples — Tracy and Olivia cover everything that gets felt but rarely spoken about in early parenthood.

Olivia Hinge is back, and this time your questions lead the way.
Part 2 is the "so what can we actually do?" half.
Part 1 is the "is this normal?" half.
Part 2 is the honest half.
Host Olivia sits down with Miranda Sykes, a London-based NHS and private midwife and lactation consultant, to answer the questions you sent in about those first few weeks at home with a newborn. Part 1 covers what to ask for before you leave hospital, what the first 24 hours at home really look like, and how much of what worries new parents is simply normal.
