Katie & David wrap up Season 3 here by each sharing their Top 3 Tips for helping new parents better connect in the midst of new parenthood chaos. We both firmly believe that Better Partners Make Better Parents and really get into some (hopefully helpful!) specifics here in this episode. Katie unpacks:

1) Sharing the Care right from the start

2) Trying to be Curious vs assuming and arguing

3) Leaning into Joy - where can we find the "yes"?

David walks through:

1) Building Bridges of connection through Shared Agreements

2) Embrace the Suck so you can Own the Outcome as a way to get unstuck and move from "victim" to "Leader"

3) There is no Bouncing Back, only Bouncing Forward
