Stress can be a major problem for parents who're constantly juggling tasks and responsibilities. The mental load can feel overwhelming at times and the list literally never ending. So when I discovered Sam Kelly has a brilliant way to: 

✅Avoid burnout.
✅Have a happier home life.
✅Help our kids to be successful in life.
✅Avoid nagging.
✅Break the old stereotypes cycle.

I had to get her on the show. A mother and feminist coach, Sam is teaching parents how to share the mental load with the whole family and increase our kid's chances of having a happy life at the same time.

She summed up what I've been struggling with my entire adult life: the fact that if we don't learn household skills at home it's way harder to develop them as adults when we have busy lives, careers, and our own family.

Some of Sam's key suggestions are:

• Teach kids the "big three" daily tasks to build cleaning skills.
• Guide kids on how to "notice" what needs to be done around the house.
• Have "cycle breaking conversations" with kids about gender equity and mental load.
• Try the "notice and grab" approach when grocery shopping with kids.
