The Myth of "Mental Load" That Could Harm Your Relationships

Finding You Now - Five Minutes to Aligned Living, Every Single Day.

Ever find yourself silently fuming while doing chores, certain you're the only one who "notices everything" in your home? In this eye-opening 5-minute conversation, I challenge the popular concept of "mental load" and how it might actually be driving couples apart instead of bringing them together. I'll share my own journey from keeping score (with infographics saved on my phone as ammunition!) to discovering what truly transformed my relationship. You'll hear about three relationship patterns we all fall into: scorekeeping that turns partners into opponents, expecting mind-reading instead of clear communication, and mistaking different attention styles for lack of caring. The breakthrough? Understanding that different brains literally notice different things—and this diversity can be your relationship's superpower rather than its downfall. Whether you're currently wrestling with household tensions or simply want more harmony in your partnership, this episode offers a refreshing "Collaborative Care" approach that replaces resentment with curiosity. Listen during your coffee break and walk away with one question that might just change everything tonight.
