A Better Share: How to Stop Carrying the Mental Load Alone with Dr. Morgan Cutlip

Have you ever felt like the weight of the household is constantly on your shoulders? That you’re the one keeping everything running while your partner is blissfully unaware of all the behind-the-scenes work? If so, you’re not alone—and there’s a way out of the cycle of frustration and resentment.

This week, I sit down with Dr. Morgan Cutlip to talk about her new book, A Better Share: How Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment, and Great Sex. She’s here to unpack what the mental load really is, why it falls so heavily on women, and how couples can work together to create balance.

We discuss:

✅ What the mental load is and why so many moms carry an unfair share.

✅ The resentment trap—why unspoken frustration builds and how to address it before it damages your relationship.

✅ How to have ‘the talk’ with your partner—effective ways to communicate about mental load without starting a fight.

✅ Why equity in household labor leads to better intimacy (yes, there’s a direct connection!).

✅ Practical, real-world strategies to redistribute tasks in a way that actually works.
