19 • How to manage household tasks, parenting, and the mental load with your partner.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Mothers have way too much on our plates—hands down. It’s next to impossible to prioritize your well-being on a regular basis and avoid burnout when you don’t have a fair and equitable partnership with your husband / partner. Gender stereotypes about what a “good” wife and mom are supposed to do are keeping us doing a vast majority of the household labor, parenting, and carrying the mental load. In this episode, I’m sharing 7 things that have helped my husband and I A LOT when it comes to navigating the responsibilities of work, home, and parenting.
