Why does it sometimes feel like you’re doing everything even when you have a supportive partner? And how do you actually change that dynamic without starting a fight about the dishwasher?

 In this episode, Cait and Jordyn sit down with Paige Connell (known online as @sheisapaigeturner) for a raw, relatable, and laugh-while-you-cry kind of conversation about mental load in motherhood and marriage.

Paige opens up about the viral video that started it all and how a simple fight about taking out the trash exposed the deeper emotional labor that so many women carry behind the scenes. Together, they unpack what the mental load really looks like, how to start having fair and productive conversations with your partner, and how to model equality for your kids at home.

They also talk openly about what happens when moms transition into entrepreneurship- the flexible-schedule trap, guilt around screen time, and the blurry lines between work and family life. 

Tune in to hear:

• How Paige’s viral “mental load” post opened a global conversation about invisible labor

• The one permission slip every mom needs to hear
