I'm hopeful. Yes, I am hopeful for today. Take this music.
Mental load is such an important topic that every couple needs to talk about. One of the really tricky things about it is that there's a huge mental load involved in splitting up the mental load. Like, if there's just one partner doing it, that is a tremendous amount of work. So one thing that we've done to make this even easier is create a mental load workbook that couples can go through together. That way, it's not just one partner assigning all the tasks to the other partner. Instead, said, you go through this workbook, you have these conversations so you can better understand each other and your mental load and feel like a team in splitting it up in a way that's going to feel fair and equal in your relationship.
