Putting your marriage over your kids seems wrong, but keeping your marriage a priority is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your partner, and your kids. A strong marriage gives your kids stability and a foundation to model healthy relationships after. It is okay to schedule a little less kid time and a little more date time! Amy Kiefer and I talk about how we can have a better connection with our partners after kids through open and intentional communication. Amy Kiefer is the owner of 3 online businesses: Expecting and Empowered, HERself Podcast, and Pursuing HER Purpose. She built her 3 businesses while also having 3 little boys with her husband Drew. After figuring out how to tame her own mom guilt and live her life on purpose, she felt called to help other women do the same. Instagram: @ameskiefer@herselfpodcast@pursuingherpurpose@expectingandempoweredWebsite: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/, https://www.herselfpodcast.com/, https://www.expectingandempowered.com/e-e-appPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/herself/id1489878793________________________________________________________________Did you love this episode?

Join me this week with Selma Baćevac as we talk about what Intergenerational Trauma can look like and how to break the cycle.Selma is a mother of two toddlers and a psychotherapist entrepreneur. She works with women and parents who want to overcome and heal trauma by offering one-one consulting, online masterclasses, and community. Selma's message is simple: "No child should ever experience the two types of fear: the fear of war and the fear of their parents."Selma was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, lived through the Siege of Sarajevo during the war and genocide in Bosnia and was a resettled refugee to the United States at 12 years old. Selma has been working as a psychotherapist for over 12 years. She has helped thousands of people heal their past traumas to move forward with their lives.
