Join Jessica Dunn and Kayla in exploring the timely issue of being the default parent and how it affects women in their daily lives.

As a recovering default parent herself, Jessica helps individuals and families by sharing personal stories and insights on how to let go of the internal pressure and reduce physical and mental clutter.

She provides practical tips for identifying priorities, setting realistic expectations, and working together as a team/family to share tasks and responsibilities.

By taking small steps and making changes in your daily routine, you can make a big difference in your overall well-being and happiness.

Ah Ha Moments:

• How being the default parent is more than just what you do in your home or in your immediate relationships
• The importance of identifying the tasks that are most important to you and focusing on those, rather than trying to do everything at once
• Communicating with your partner and sharing tasks will help you spend more quality time together as a family, and it gives your partner a chance to shine and step up
