TEAM PARENTHOOD:

HOW TO NOT HATE YOUR SPOUSE AFTER KIDS

DISCOVER HOW TO HAVE A THRIVING RELATIONSHIP AFTER KIDS.

Whether you low-key hate your spouse currently, or want to make sure you never start, this course will help couples in the early years of parenthood who want to communicate better, enhance intimacy, ditch resentment, and feel like the strong team they always wanted to be. 
If you are a couple who:
  • Has at least one child.
  • Is open to examining your own relationship patterns
  • Knows that even though you sometimes feel irritated with your partner, deep down you love them and want to have a strong and fulfilling relationship during this challenging season of life (and beyond).

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

OK, OK, I KNOW YOU DON’T HATE THEM, BUT YOU SURE MISS HOW THINGS USED TO BE

MAYBE THIS IS YOUR EXPERIENCE:
  • You thought parenthood would be an exciting adventure in your relationship, but in reality it has been the most difficult chapter yet.
  • No matter what you try, you end up having the same argument over and over again
  • You keep telling yourself this challenging chapter is just temporary, but you’re not sure when it will end
  • You feel like roommates who are co-parenting instead of a romantic couple
  • You find yourself feeling resentful, irritated, and unappreciated
  • Ever since becoming parents you’ve lost the spark in your relationship
  • You want to prioritize the relationship but you’re so exhausted and busy you have no idea how you would even start

You’re in the right place.

IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO ANY OF THESE THINGS

  • Sometimes you argue, but you know how to repair after a fight, leaving both of you feeling heard and understood 
  • You feel excited to have a date night together and even though you're tried, you actually  feel the spark come back   
  • You feel appreciated and respected by your partner
  • You trust that your partner will hold up their fair share of the load of parenthood and domestic labour
  • You find yourselves laughing and joking around in the chaos and overstimulation of young kids
  • 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 in parenting even if you have different approaches
  • You’re confident in your relationship and have the space to fully enjoy this season of life

IMAGINE THIS:

I CAN HELP YOU FEEL THIS WAY.

HERE’S HOW:

  • 1. Learn Where You Came From

    We will do a deep dive into your past, understanding your own family of origin, your attachment style and how it shows up in your relationship today.

  • 2. 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 issues so you feel confident you can make decisions as a team.

  • 3. 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 visible and invisible load of parenthood

  • 4. Master Boundaries

    Identify what you both need to have healthy boundaries, common boundary issues with family members in the early years of parenthood, and how to communicate any boundaries that need to be set in order to maintain your peace. Learn how to confidently navigate any relationships that aren’t respecting them together.

  • 5. Find Desire & Enhance Intimacy

    Understand how intimacy is formed, different ways to reach for each other when you’re feeling exhausted and depleted, why sexual intimacy can dip in early parenthood, and how to prioritize your connection even with kids around.

  • 6. Integration

    We will bring it all together, create individual gameplans, troubleshoot future potential challenges, fine tune your mindset, and leave you feel confident you can trust your teammate to show up for you on game day.

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

“It was very helpful to hear in real time how other couples were struggling in almost the exact same way that we were in that moment. I actually liked the group format, though I was quite nervous about it at the beginning. I think hearing from other couples put things into perspective for us. Of course we have our weaknesses and struggles, but we also have some great strengths that I was surprised to notice. Having the meetings regularly gave us a good sense of accountability for completing stuff.”

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.”

  • “We learned a lot about ourselves and our relationship that we had not properly connected in 12 years together. It created a lot of conversations we had never had before.”

    KO & KO

  • "I feel much more confident and more secure in my relationship."

    AM & SM

  • “We are both feeling really hopeful. We are doing better communicating in a healthy way after engaging in this program.”

    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.

    AM&SM

  • “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.”

 FAQs

  • My recommendation is to take the course together. I think you’ll have the most impact if you’re learning at the same time. But I also want to acknowledge that couples can be on different pages about this stuff and you can definitely see benefit doing it independently as well. So you can absolutely go through the course solo, and bring the tips and techniques back into your relationship.

    I created a bonus guide How To Get Your Partner On Board that you can use to guide your conversations when approaching them about participating in this course.

  • Absolutely!

    The title is really just my way of saying sometimes we can feel really annoyed, disconnected, and frustrated with our spouse when we are co-parenting.

    This course will help you 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 family. Second, this course is for any level. The advanced part is applying these skills to your unique life, which I will help support you to do. I have set this course up so you will have everything you need to feel confident, no matter what place you’re starting from.

  • You will have lifetime access to the course material.

  • 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 day. Or you can choose to consume them at a slower pace.

    You have lifetime access to Team Parenthood 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 Team Parenthood or pay your rent, please don’t buy this course!

    If you’re in a place where you can swing an extra $197 a month but you’re still hesitating, my answer would be what ARE you willing to invest that $197 in?

    Drinks and appies on Friday night? A cute new outfit for the kids with matching shoes? A couple Skip The Dishes orders 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 relationship therapist, 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 season of life as connecting, joyful, and filled with love. You don’t want to regret not enjoying your relationship as best you could and find yourself filled with regret down the road that you "missed it."Or worse, that things continue to get worse and you regret not prioritizing your relationship when you had the chance.

  • 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 course for early parenthood, I would. Then I would have gone through the material again when we suddenly had two under two. And then I would have told all my mom friends to take it. The relationship challenges my marriage went through strained 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 Team Parenthood and feel confident that you have everything you need to thrive in the early years of parenthood.
