Redistributing the mental load in our household

Lucie Fink Podcast 26 days ago

Description

Operation Feel Alive Again is swiftly underway — this week, we’re redistributing the mental load in our household. Making my husband’s doctors’ appointments has always been a no for me. ❌ Of course, if you and your partner talk openly about the mental load in your relationship and you mutually agree that one of you is going to handle all of the family doctor visits, that’s fine. Recently, I’ve just spoken to far too many women who do this for their husbands and are resentful about it. There was never a discussion—they just fell into these patterns and now they carry the bulk of the burden.

As part of our new lifestyle being co-CEOs of our household and business, Michael and I have taken a closer look at all of the mental weight that we carry. Just like in a functioning business, tasks need to be properly delegated so that everybody doesn’t feel responsible for everything all at once.

If you’re looking for this mental load tracker, you can head over to @therealstuffpod on Instagram, and tap on the story highlight called “mental load” — the Google sheet is linked in there and you just have to go to “file” then “make a copy” to start editing it for yourself.🤌🤌🤌
