Not Think About Everything That Needs To Get Done The Way I Do

We talk about over functioning and under functioning in this episode. This is a common dynamic in many partnerships. We tackle invisible work, emotional labor and gender roles. Yes we will weigh in on patriarchy and talk about relational health and power dynamics. Do you know how to function in your relationship in a stance of sharing equal power with your partner? This episode we share ideas about how healthy “power with” thinking is and share ideas about how to create a healthy dynamic with empowering each other in your relationship.
