Have you ever found yourself prepping everything before you leave the house—or swooping in to “just fix it” when your partner handles a parenting moment differently than you would? It might feel helpful or necessary in the moment, but over time, it can quietly erode your partnership and leave you feeling more like a manager than a teammate.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the hidden cost of stepping in too often, why it happens (hint: it’s not just about your spouse), and how you can begin to shift this pattern in a way that benefits everyone in your family.
This isn’t about blame—it’s about awareness, relief, and building the kind of marriage where you feel held, supported, and safe to let go a little.
