The Parent Table - From Conflict to Connection

This talk explores a common, yet often unaddressed, source of marital conflict: the profound shift that parenthood brings.

(From our speaker Alex): Following the birth of our children, my wife and I found ourselves trapped in a cycle of painful arguments, a struggle I saw mirrored in the lives of many of our friends. Our homes, once havens, had become places of resentment and misunderstanding, an environment that was detrimental to both our relationships and our children's well-being.

In a search for a solution, I embarked on an unexpected journey: I started reading books about motherhood. This simple act of curiosity became a revelation. By learning to see the world through my wife's eyes, I gained an entirely new perspective on our shared challenges. This understanding transformed the way we communicated and resolved conflict.

My personal quest for knowledge has since turned into a passionate mission. I’ve become an avid reader of books by women on the topic of motherhood and now host a successful podcast, "," where I interview these authors. Most importantly, this journey has completely revolutionized my own family life. My marriage is now stronger than ever, and our children are thriving in a joyful and peaceful home.

This talk is a powerful story of personal transformation. It's an honest account of how I went from being a frustrated parent to an advocate for empathy and understanding. I share the practical insights I've gained, including the top 5 things I’ve learnt which I wish I’d implemented in my marriage earlier on. I use these to offer a clear path for others to achieve the same harmony in their own families. This presentation is not just about my story; it’s about a universal need for justice and understanding in the home, offering a hopeful and actionable message that resonates with anyone striving for a happier family life
