If talking about the mental load already feels like walking into a fight, this episode is for you.
Because most mental load conversations don’t fail due to bad intentions — they fail because couples are stuck in an unspoken manager–assistant dynamic that kills safety, teamwork, and desire.
In this episode, we unpack:
- Why the mental load isn't just about chores, but responsibility for the life you chose
- A simple checklist for each of you to assess your role in this dance and what you can shift.
- A step-by-step structure for opening this conversation without triggering defensiveness
- How resentment and disconnection show up in your sex life
This is a grounded, practical episode for couples who want to feel like teammates again — not managers and assistants.
