Losing Sleep After Having A Baby

Nothing prepares you for the kind of sleep deprivation that comes after having a baby. 
It’s not just being tired — it’s a physical, emotional, and mental unraveling that can sneak in slowly… and hit all at once. 
In this episode, we’re talking about sleep — the kind you lose, the kind you try to catch up on, and what we’ve learned through navigating newborn nights, nap guilt, co-sleeping, and shifting routines. We share what we got wrong in the beginning (like trying to power through on our own), the resentment that built up in the quiet hours, and the small but powerful shifts that helped us restore peace, both at night and during the day. 
We walk through the products that helped, the rituals that didn’t, how we split night shifts, and what we learned about our own limits and needs. From bottle warmers to glow-in-the-dark pacifiers, to learning how to sleep in shifts, we cover the real, raw, behind-the-scenes in those early parenting years. 
There’s no one “right” way to do it, but there are ways to do it with more grace, more presence, and more peace.

The Stormy Season with Young Kids

When you have children, everything changes. But no one warned us that we would, too.
Welcome to the Home on the Rock — a space for couples navigating the beautiful, messy, and deeply transformative season of raising young kids. Hosted by Thiago and Crystal Rose Harvey, each episode explores the raw realities of marriage and parenting after children: from communication breakdowns to lost intimacy, to spiritual and emotional disconnection.
In this deeply vulnerable debut episode, Thiago and Crystal share the unfiltered truth about what really happened to their marriage after kids: identity loss, intimacy struggles, porn, postpartum trauma, and the moments they weren’t sure they’d make it through. 
Through honest reflection and unwavering faith, they reveal the tools, turning points, and spiritual restoration that helped them not just survive but come back stronger. From intimacy to identity to obedience, this conversation goes deep into what it really takes to stay together when life gets hard — and why it’s always worth it.
