In this raw and relatable episode, Onnie returns to the mic after a short hiatus to talk about something so many moms silently struggle with: resentment in marriage. From doing it all to expecting your partner to read your mind, Onnie breaks down the top five ways resentment sneaks into your relationship — and what you can start doing today to shift the dynamic.

This is a “what not to do” episode — not from a place of judgment, but from lived experience. Onnie shares honest stories from her own marriage (hello, football Sundays 👀) and offers encouragement and awareness to help you reconnect not only with your partner, but with yourself.

Whether you’re in the thick of resentment or just starting to feel that emotional simmer, this episode will help you see the patterns and begin to change them.
