When it comes to the mental load it can be very easy to feel like our partners aren't dragging their weight, and so often this results in feelings of resentment towards them. So this week we've brought in the incredible Dr. Morgan Cutlip to give us her best advice on how we keep those feelings at bay. Dr. Morgan is a mental load and relationships expert who joins us to show us the best ways of approaching these feelings with our partners. She shares the root cause of the inequality that so many of us feel when it comes to the mental load, the domestic load, and being the default parent. She tells us what to do if our partner gets defensive whenever we mention the mental load, and the best things to say when that happens. By the end of this episode you'll have actionable steps to rebalance the load and to feel less resentful.

Guilt has become so normalised, so prevalent in motherhood that it even has it's own name: 'Mum Guilt'. We don't talk about 'dad guilt', or 'person guilt', or 'human guilt', so why should we allow guilt to stop us feeling like the amazing mothers that we are? In this special solo episode, Zoe shares one of her biggest passions - freeing us from unnecessary guilt. Listen to this episode to learn two life-changing tools that help us use our guilt for good, and stop us letting toxic or unproductive guilt from ruining our motherhoods.
