Babyproof Your Relationship

DISCOVER HOW TO PREPARE YOUR RELATIONSHIP FOR A NEW BABY

A STEP-BY-STEP DIGITAL COURSE THAT WILL HELP YOU NOT JUST SURVIVE BUT THRIVE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP DURING THE FOURTH TRIMESTER. 
IT ALL STARTS WITH INVESTING IN THE RELATIONSHIP THAT STARTED IT ALL- YOU TWO.
If you are a couple who:
  • Loves each other
  • Understands the importance of your relationship’s health for your children
  • Wants to ensure you don’t lose each other in the process of raising kids
  • Is anticipating the arrival of your first baby
  • Has already welcomed one (or more!) babies

you’re in the right place.

BEFORE I TELL YOU ABOUT THIS COURSE LET’S MAKE SURE YOU'RE A GOOD FIT.

YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS, AND YOU DON’T WANT A NEW BABY TO CHANGE THAT.

MAYBE THIS IS YOUR EXPERIENCE:
  • You were excited to become parents until you started seeing all this negative content online about how hard parenthood is on your relationship and it's taken some of the wind out of your sails
  • You have watched some of your friends become resentful and dissatisfied with their partner after having kids- and you do not want this to happen to you.
  • You know how hard being a parent can be on your romantic partnership but you're not exactly sure what to focus on to set your relationship up for success.
  • You've already welcomed one (or more!) babies and you are not naive to the challenges that await you- you want to do things differently this time

You’re in the right place.

IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO ANY OF THESE THINGS

  • You’re home with your baby and feeling supported by your partner
  • You’re tired, but you know you and your partner have a plan to make sure you’ll both catch up on sleep
  • You know exactly what to ask for and what to say no to, and feel confident in your skills to get the message across in a healthy way
  • Your hands are full and time feels busier than ever, but you’re still managing to prioritize connection and intimacy in your relationship
  • You and your partner are on the same page about what is normal as well as any red flags to watch out for
  • You’re confident in your relationship and have the space to fully enjoy the beauty of a new baby

IMAGINE THIS:

I CAN HELP YOU FEEL THIS WAY.

HERE’S HOW:

  • How To Navigate Common Challenges

    Learn about sleep deprivation, nourishing baby, and any perinatal mental health symptoms that might show up- and how to support each other through them.

  • How To Share The Load of Parenthood

    Get confident about exactly what you need to do to support your family, how to offer support that will be appreciated, and fairly share the new labour your baby will bring.

  • Communicate Like A Team

    Gain foundational skills to better understand each other, express your needs, and repair after conflict. Learn how to apply these skills to any polarizing parenting issue that may arise.

  • Master Boundaries

    Identify what you both need in the early days of postpartum, how to communicate any boundaries that need to be set in order to maintain your peace, and how to navigate any relationships that aren’t respecting them.

  • Maintain Intimacy

    Understand how intimacy is formed, different ways to reach for each other when you’re feeling busier than usual, and how to find your spark postpartum.

  • Craft A Complete 4th Trimester Plan

    Create a clear game plan and feel confident you can handle any common challenges that may arise in the 4th trimester.

OK, BUT WHO AM I LEARNING FROM?

Hi, I’m Autumn! I’m a mother, wife, couples therapist, educator, and relationship expert who experienced first hand how hard the transition to parenthood is on a relationship. At the time, I searched high and low for resources that could support our marriage but I couldn’t find much, so I’ve dedicated my career to filling that gap. So far, I’ve helped hundreds of couples in the early years of parenthood repair and deepen their relationships.

When I’m not pouring myself into my amazing work, you’ll find me spending time with the people I love most. I’m a boy mom to two little rascals who keep me on my toes and one very neurotic australian shepherd. I live on Vancouver Island with my supportive husband and know for sure that he will continue to irritate me and cause me to fall more in love with him for the rest of my life.

WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING…

PN&SN

“Autumn was so kind and supportive to us. We both found her very funny and noticed that she had a knack for helping us see our partner's perspective.”

KO&KO

“I was impressed getting knowledge and guidance from Autumn. We are so thankful we found her and her course! Had talked about couples counselling for so long and it felt so scary. This was such a good introduction to things we needed guidance with in such a safe space.”

    PN&SN

  • I have found myself talking to parents about the playground about this program! I would highly recommend it to all my friends (and clearly strangers too). It was such a wonderful space to openly communicate with my spouse on topics that needed attention in our relationship.

 FAQs

  • My recommendation is to take this course together. I think it will have the most impact if you are working through the material as a team.

    But I also acknowledge there are individuals who are not ready, able, or willing to engage in this kind of thing. So you can absolutely go through the course solo and bring tips and info back to the relationship.

  • Yes, absolutely. Although the course is framed for those who are expecting a child, this information would be just as helpful (and maybe even more relatable while you’re in the thick of it!) after the baby is here.

  • I know so many couples who felt confident in their relationship heading into parenthood only to realize there was so much they didn’t know they didn’t know.

    This course will build on the strong foundation you already have and further solidify your confidence as a couple, while also offering strategies to potential pitfalls you might not have otherwise saw coming.

  • First, I’m so glad you’re here! Investing in your relationship is the single greatest gift you can give your growing family. Second, this course is a foundational course, meaning you are learning basic skills. The advanced part is applying these skills to very a very specific time of life- the fourth trimester. I have set this course up so you will have everything you need to feel confident, no matter what place you’re starting from.

  • The course content will be unlocked on February 8, 2024 for our kick off party! After that, you will have lifetime access to the course material.

  • You will receive the first two modules right away. After 5 days you will receive the rest of the course materials.

  • I know you’re busy with a million other things on your to do list, so I’ve made each lesson short and easy to digest (no more than 10 minutes). You can complete the materials in most lessons in less than 20 minutes (except for the division of labour activity).

    You can consume the lessons in as short as one week! Or you can choose to consume them at a slower pace.

    You have lifetime access to Babyproof Your Relationship so you can take however long you want and come back as many times as you need.

  • We’re all working with budgets and “expensive” is a relative concept.

    If you’re working with a budget where you can either purchase Babyproof Your Relationship or pay your rent, please don’t buy this course!

    If you’re in a place where you can swing an extra $97 but you’re still hesitating, my answer would be what ARE you willing to invest that $97 in?

    Drinks and appies on Friday night? A cute new outfit for the baby with matching booties? A Skip The Dishes order when you’re too tired to cook?

    Sometimes things feeling expensive really means they’re not a priority to you.

    Life is expensive and many of us are spending the majority of our money on basic needs. But many of us also mindlessly spend on things that don’t actually bring us connection, joy, or move us closer to our goals.

    So ask yourself, “Am I spending on things that are important to me? Is my relationship worth investing in?”

    And remember, getting through all this material in couples therapy will cost thousands of dollars.

  • No. Although I am a certified clinical counsellor, this course is for educational purposes only. The benefit of this for you is I am using all my knowledge and training from being a therapist to support you to learn the best strategies for success in your own relationship- without investing a lot more time and money.

IF YOU’RE THINKING THIS SOUNDS AMAZING BUT I’M STILL NOT 100% SURE…

  • You don't want to regret it

    You want to look back on this very important time as connecting, joyful, and filled with love. You don’t want to regret not preparing your relationship as best you could and find yourself feeling frustrated, resentful, and alone in the postpartum period.

  • You know great relationships take effort

    You’re under no illusion that happy couples just effortlessly walk through all the peaks and valleys of life without putting in some work. You know relationships take effort sometimes, and you want your relationship to be one of the greats.

  • You want your kids to grow up with healthy relationship role models

    You recognize that our parent’s relationship shapes the way we each respond to conflict, how we feel about expressing emotions, and how comfortable we are with intimacy. You want your children to grow up knowing that its OK to be loved through mistakes, what its like to have parents who share the load of parenting, and how to set loving boundaries. In fact, you know this is the greatest gift you could ever give them. And it starts with modelling it.

RELATIONSHIPS AREN’T EASY, AND NEITHER IS PARENTHOOD…

If I could go back in time and take a relationship prep course for parenthood, I would. Then I would have taken it again before the birth of my second child. And told all my soon to be mom friends to take it. The relationship changes my marriage went through challenged us in more ways than I could have imagined. Lucky for us, we had resources, a village, and enough support to continue figuring it out, reconnecting, and finding ourselves through the ups and downs of the amazing and completely life changing thing that parenthood is.

I created this course for you (and a little bit for former me). I know that the relationship you have with your spouse will impact you, your children, and your family as a whole, for the rest of your lives. I also know that your children growing up with a healthy relationship model, one that knows how to fight fair, repair, and reconnect, is the most valuable gift you can give them.

And it’s one that is worth investing in.

Even if it’s not easy, having a healthy and satisfying relationship is completely possible- with the right tools.

If you’re ready to take your relationship to the next level, join me inside Babyproof Your Relationship and feel confident that you have everything you need to thrive the fourth trimester as a team.
