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.
