Why Can't We Talk About It?

Episode 11: Emotional Labour and the Mental Load

In today’s episode we talk about the importance of recognizing emotional labour in relationships, and what happens when someone’s unfairly carrying the mental load for their household. We also break down weaponized incompetence - if you’ve never heard that term, you’re going to want to tune in and hear Danny’s perspective :)
