Braving the Mountain

How We Really Divide the Labor (and Why It Matters More Than You Think)


Listen Later

Ever feel like you're running a 98-hour work week inside your own home—managing meals, laundry, appointments, and every last detail—while your partner just "helps out" here and there?

You're not alone. For years, I believed I had to carry it all: kids' schedules, housework, even my husband's appointments. I thought that was just "mom life." But it left me resentful, exhausted, and disconnected in my own marriage.

Here's the truth: You don't have to do it all. And asking for support isn't asking too much.

In this episode, I'm breaking down: ✔️ The invisible contracts couples carry into marriage (and how they set us up for imbalance) ✔️ Why resentment builds when we don't let our partners step up ✔️ How we now divide labor in our home so everyone—kids included—shares the load ✔️ The nervous-system side of asking for help (and why it feels so hard) ✔️ Practical steps you can take to create a home where support is the standard, not the exception

If you've ever felt like a roommate instead of a partner, this conversation will give you both hope and real-life strategies to change it.
