Do you ever feel like you and your partner are parenting from completely different playbooks?

You're not alone.

In this episode, Lori sits down with registered clinical counselor, trauma-informed therapist, and author Martina Nova to discuss why parenting often uncovers differences couples never realized they had—and how to move from conflict to connection.

Martina shares insights from her new book, Same Page Parenting, explaining that successful parenting isn't about agreeing on every decision. Instead, it's about understanding one another's experiences, values, childhood influences, and emotional needs.

Together, they discuss:

• Why becoming parents often changes even the strongest relationships
• The hidden impact of childhood experiences on the way we parent
• Understanding and reducing the invisible mental load
• How social media and modern parenting pressures affect today's families
• Conversation starters that help couples reconnect instead of argue
• Why curiosity is more powerful than trying to "win" parenting disagreements
• Simple ways to begin feeling like a parenting team again

One of Martina's favorite questions to ask couples is:

"What part of parenting feels heaviest for you right now?"

Sometimes one compassionate question can open the door to deeper understanding and stronger connection.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like you're carrying too much on your own, this conversation will remind you that healthy parenting starts with healthy communication.
