Show Notes

Ever heard “men just don’t see the mess” or “dads aren’t natural nurturers”? 🙄 Yeah, those are some of the biggest household mental load myths we’ve all been sold—and they’re keeping moms stuck doing way too much.

Inspired by this viral post from @momlife_comics, this episode busts the patriarchy’s favorite excuses wide open. From multitasking madness to the myth of male incompetence, we’ll show you how these lies fuel resentment, overload moms, and give dads an easy out. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to flip the script so the household load is finally shared.

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at “he just can’t,” this conversation will leave you nodding, laughing, and ready to take back your sanity.
