In Episode 333, we're joined by relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip to discuss her new book, A Better Share.
She is back on the podcast, and this time we’re diving into one of the most common (yet rarely discussed) sources of tension in modern relationships: the mental load. Whether it's remembering appointments, managing household logistics, or anticipating everyone’s needs, the mental load can take a serious toll—especially on women, who often carry more of it by default.
In our conversation, Morgan unpacks why this imbalance happens, how it quietly erodes connection, and what couples can do to start feeling like true partners again. We dig into the emotional weight of invisible labor, explore how unspoken expectations build resentment, and discuss what it really takes to re-balance the relationship dynamic in a way that feels good for both people.
We also talk through practical strategies—like how to communicate your needs without sounding critical, and small but powerful habits that keep the spark alive through life’s chaos. Morgan shares so much wisdom from her brand-new book, A Better Share, which is out now and packed with actionable tools for any couple ready to tackle the mental load together.
