  • the impact this inequity has on other areas of your relationship
  • how to explain the mental load without your partner getting defensive
  • the difference between ‘within work’ and ‘between work’, and why you need to do both
  • thoughts and behaviours that can sabotage an equitable relationship
  • minimum acceptable standards and letting go of control
