Do you find yourself lying awake at night running through the to-do list no one else seems to know about?

Anything related to school, the kids’ clothes, the groceries, the mental reminders about everyone’s schedule… all while trying to run our own lives.

That’s what’s called the invisible load, and it’s leaving so many women exhausted, resentful, and feeling completely alone in their marriage.

So this week I’m joined by clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and bestselling author Dr. Tracy Dalgleish to chat about why this happens and what you can do to start feeling connected to your family again.

You’ll learn:

1:22 - The “mental load” explained… Why you’re exhausted even when the chores are done

10:23 - Why your resentment isn’t actually about the dishes (and how to address it with your partner) 

12:54 - Why the same fights keep happening and how to finally stop talking in circles

18:28 - How to stop being the default parent and the one who carries it all

23:20 - Easy 10 minute rituals that bring back connection with your partner (without a big effort)

29:02 - The patterns you learnt from your childhood that you might be enforcing without even realising it

36:14 - Why mother in law drama can be harder than anything else in marriage

39:33 - Raising boys: how to break the cycle and encourage them to confident and kind

42:22 Where to find more of Dr. Tracy’s tools and resources

43:57 - The biggest problem Dr Tracy sees in modern relationships

… and SO much more.
