If you feel like you’re the one keeping track of everything—from doctor’s appointments to school forms to remembering what’s in the fridge—you’re not imagining it. The mental load is real, and for most women, it’s overwhelming.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Morgan Cutlip, a psychologist and relationship expert, to talk about why the mental load falls so heavily on women and, more importantly, how to start sharing it with your partner—without the resentment.

In This Episode, We’ll Explore:

  • What the mental load actually is and why women carry more of it
  • How unspoken expectations create invisible responsibilities
  • Why simply asking for “help” isn’t the answer—and what to do instead
  • Real-life strategies to rebalance household and family responsibilities
