Who handles the school emails, birthday RSVPs, lost socks, and last-minute homework crises? In this episode, we dive into the reality of the “default parent”—the one carrying the invisible mental load of parenting. We talk about how couples fall into these roles, the impact it has on relationships, and what happens when one parent starts to burn out. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overlooked, or unsure how to rebalance parenting responsibilities, this conversation is for you.
