About this listen

In this second full-length episode of Mamas in the Wild, Amanda and Heather dive into the often-overlooked conversations that can make the transition to parenthood smoother, stronger, and more connected. Whether you’re actively trying to conceive or simply wondering what’s ahead, you’ll learn:

  • Relationship Check-In: Why premarital coaching or therapy can unearth blind spots and strengthen your partnership before baby.
  • Core Conversations: From home-birth vs. hospital, vaccinations, circumcision, to discipline styles and gentle parenting—how to decide what truly aligns with your family.
  • Financial & Household Logistics: Budgeting, childcare chores, and sharing the mental load—setting realistic expectations ahead of sleepless nights.
  • Extended Family & Boundaries: Crafting a united front with in-laws, establishing healthy boundaries, and protecting your new family dynamic.
  • Emotional Preparedness: Understanding how becoming a parent transforms you (and your partner) in ways you can’t yet imagine—and how to support one another through it.
