Join your hosts Sophia and Carissa (our newest student midwife) as they interview Rhona Berens, a perinatal relationship coach and co-author of the book "Fight Right for Your Baby: The How to Guide for Expecting and New Parents to Shift from Conflict to Connection". They discuss babies and relationships, conflict styles and impact, useful tools, and red flags for birth workers to look out for to refer out. Rhona Berens, PhD, PCC is a seasoned Relationship Coach who helps new and expecting parents capably navigate the momentous shifts that occur with a baby’s arrival. For more than a dozen years, Rhona has assisted perinatal professionals in their efforts to better support their clients; she has delivered in-service talks, conference keynotes (e.g., CAPPA), webinars (e.g., InJoy), and in-person workshops in the US and Canada.

Fight Right for Your Baby helps parents move from common yet potentially destructive ways of disagreeing to Fighting Right, an approach to conflict that supports children’s developmental health, and parents’ individual and relationship satisfaction.Rhona’s recommends:•And Baby Makes Three: https://www.gottman.com/product/and-baby-makes-three/Connect with Rhona:•IG: @fightrightbooks•Website: http://www.rhonaberens.com/•Book: http://www.fightrightbooks.com/Listen here:IG: linktree in bio FB: https://anchor.fm/bornwild/episodes/102--Rhona-Berens---Perinatal-Relationship-Coach-e2egad6@sophiabirth @bayareahomebirth @bornwildmidwiferyStay Wild 🌳
