Why do so many mothers still feel like the default parent — even when their partners genuinely step up?
In this episode, I explore the invisible double standard that shapes the mental load at home — from how society praises dads for doing the bare minimum to why moms feel the pressure to manage quality control.

You’ll hear how I and my husband recalibrated our own mental load after major life changes, what she learned about trust, nervous-system safety, and timing, and why empathy and body awareness are key to real change.

This conversation is for every high-achieving mom who’s tired of “doing it all” and ready to share the load without losing herself.
