Summary
I went deeper into something I see all the time with working moms, the default parent dynamic - and the part no one really talks about: how it impacts your relationship. If you’ve ever felt that quiet resentment building, or caught yourself thinking “why do I have to ask?”, this episode will hit home. I walk through the shift from trying to control your partner to actually leading change in your home, and why that’s the only way this dynamic truly transforms. In this episode, we unpack: Why “getting him to help” is the wrong question The hidden relationship tension behind being the default parent The shift from dictator to leader in your home How to take ownership without taking all the blame What it actually takes to change this dynamic long-term Work with me: Ambitious & Balanced: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced Book your Break Free From Stress Strategy Call (with free Quiz!): www.ambitiousandbalanced.com/break-free-from-stress
