In this solo episode, I sit down to chat about the division of labor and why I think it is such an important topic. I discuss the unfortunate reality that is the disadvantage, from the very beginning, the mother is put in when it comes to division of labor and why this topic is one that every couple should be discussing. I share stories submitted by the FF Family and also reflect on how Joe and I have evolved and grown since early postpartum.

Key Takeaway / Points:

In today’s solo episode I unpack how anxiety impacts relationships between friends, family members, and romantic partners. I often say that Joe knows how to “handle” my anxiety, and this episode dives into more specifics on what that actually looks like. As someone who feels that sometimes I am a “burden” for those who love me due to my mental health struggles, I share those emotions and remind us all that some of us just need a little extra support. I read through a handful of FF Fam member submissions on this topic and share your stories on how your anxiety has impacted the relationships you have.

Key Takeaway / Points: 

• Opening up about the feeling of “being a burden” on others due to my mental health struggles
• Sharing stories by fellow FF Fam members on how anxiety has impacted their relationships
• Discussing the evolution of my friendships and how anxiety used to play a role in my decisions
• Unpacking how Joe helps me through my anxious times and recommendations for practices to do with your friends, family members, or partners so that they can best support you
