S4 E5: Mental Load Is Killing Your Relationship — How To Share It With Zach Watson (Part 2)

Send us a text

When trust breaks down, even good intentions can start to feel like control.
In Part 2 with Zach Watson, we explore how couples can rebuild trust by replacing reminders with real ownership, and why running a simple “boring meeting” can change everything.

Zach explains how to close the communication loop, set boundaries that stick, and turn recurring frustrations into shared systems that actually work. We unpack why “chore play” misses the point, how culture still rewards men for doing the bare minimum, and what it really takes to balance visible and invisible labor at home.
