Coach Me Through the Default Parent Divorce (Part 2: From Scorekeeping to Solutions)


Listen Later

Last week, we unpacked why the Default Parent Divorce is making headlines — from mental load imbalance to perfectionism, resentment, and the patterns that keep us choosing similar partners. We explored how communication, curiosity, and courageous conversations can change the dynamic before a relationship breaks down.

This week, we pick up right where we left off — diving into the controversial world of chores apps. Catherine shares why she believes they can actually harm intimacy and foster scorekeeping, while Tanu makes the case for how they can work when used as a practical, data-driven tool for left-brain partners.

We then share four actionable tools (two each) to help you shift from resentment to teamwork, including:

How to invite your partner to take more initiative without nagging

Why weekly planning meetings can be a game changer for high-performance couples

How to create “pressure release valves” in your household before burnout hits

The surprising science behind venting — and how to use it productively

Whether you’re married, partnered, or navigating co-parenting, these tools will help you move from scorekeeping to solutions — and create more space for connection in your relationship.

🎧 Listen now and start turning “it’s all on me” into “we’ve got this.”
