The Mental Load


Listen Later

We have been wanting to touch on this topic for a long time and finally it's here. Today’s show is all about the Mental Load and if you are a woman who has ever complained to your male partner about something they haven’t done or forgot to do then you may have  heard them utter the phrase “You should have just asked” well bingo my friends - that is the crux of the mental load and that's what we are discussing today.

We get into it all. Why are women still more responsible for the domestic chores than men, how close are we to closing the gap (not close enough), how it impacts women and marriages and how to manage it.

Pls join us for a very real conversation
