Parenting Unplugged 💛

Becoming a parent doesn’t just change you—it changes the way you connect with everyone else around you. In this episode of Parenting Unplugged, we dive into the often-overlooked social shifts that come with life after baby. From friendships that fade to new communities that form, we get real about how parenthood reshapes your relationships.

You’ll hear about:

• The surprising grief of losing old friendships or growing apart
• Navigating tricky boundaries with extended family and in-laws
• Finding—or struggling to find—your “village” in early parenthood
• The awkwardness (and loneliness) of mismatched life stages with friends
• Why your social battery changes, and how to protect it guilt-free
• Building new connections through baby groups, online communities, and beyond
• Dealing with unsolicited advice from strangers (yes, it happens often!)
• Reclaiming your identity while reshaping your social world

Whether you’re in the thick of newborn life or reflecting years later, this episode offers validation, real talk, and gentle guidance to remind you that you’re not alone in these shifts.
