This week, I’m joined by Dr. Morgan Cutlip—psychologist, author, and someone I absolutely love learning from—to talk about one of the most common and complicated parts of relationships after kids: the mental load. You know, the endless invisible checklist running through your head, the nagging feeling that you're doing more, and the challenge of keeping your relationship strong through it all.
We talk about how hard it can be to explain the mental load to your partner without it turning into a fight, why resentment builds (and how to let go of it), and the real link between how supported you feel outside the bedroom… and how connected you feel inside it.
Dr. Morgan also shares what surprised her most while writing her new book, A Better Share, including the role communication plays in keeping couples close—not just as parents or roommates, but as partners who still want to have fun, laugh, and yes, have great sex.
This is one of those episodes that I think every couple can relate to. I hope it makes you feel seen and gives you some tools to take back into your own relationship. Order her book here: https://amzn.to/3ZFrpfd
