Danielle and Adam have long struggled with the idea of, "The Mental Load," (the division of household and domestic responsibilities) in their marriage, so much so that they thought about separating after an enormous blowout following the recording of episode #56, The Mental Load. Danielle then turned to Eve Rodsky, THE Harvard trained expert of all things "mental load" related, and after following her advice (episode #137), things definitely improved, although there is still much work to be done. Now, Eve Rodsky is taking the next step in her mission, ensuring that women everywhere are finding themselves in a manner that has nothing to do with domestic life OR work, but rather, is rooted in creativity and "flow." How does a busy woman find time for such a passion? Eve is here to tell us, and help us understand why our identity and sense of self is dependent upon us doing so.

Check out Eve Rodsky's new book (Reese's Book Club Pick), "Find Your Unicorn Space."

Liz Earnshaw is the type of relationship expert that concentrates on all of the different, important relationships in our lives, not just the romantic. She has been "obsessed with the idea and inner workings of relationships" since she was a kid. Danielle asks all about the need women have for strong bonds with people other than their romantic partner, and whether or not men innately have that same need. Why do men and women react so differently to emotions, what do we do if we're feeling burdened by fulfilling "all the roles" for our partner, and also, why do our kids need more role models than just their parents? Plus, Liz tells us how she got her husband to do a whole lot more domestic tasks, and how we can, too.
