Managing the Mental Load: Shared Responsibilities in Relationships | Tracy Dalgleish (EP337)

Minimalist Moms

Joining me for her second appearance on the show is Dr. Tracy Dalgleish. In this episode, we explore the concept of keeping score in relationships and the mental load that women often carry. We also discuss the need for open communication, conflict resolution, and the importance of connection in relationships. Is this something you struggle with in your own marriage? Or perhaps this information could be helpful as you support a friend in your life. Either way, you’ll walk away with tips to implement right away!
