E45 Emotional Labor and Mindful Monogamy

What’s up with sharing emotional and mental labor? How can this get in the way of healthy relationships and communicating? What does it actually look like when one partner is holding all the emotional labor in a relationship?

In this episode, I explore emotional labor, the hope to shift monogamy more mindful, the gender gap when it comes to feeling our feelings, and how we need to fight for men’s right to be human - not just strong.
