Episode Synopsis

In this first part of a powerful two-part conversation, we dive into a trending (and emotional) topic: the default parent divorce. More and more women are choosing to leave marriages that feel unequal — especially when they’re already carrying the invisible weight of home, kids, and emotional labor alone. But is divorce always the solution?We unpack:✅ The rising divorce rates and why chores & mental load are a bigger factor than many think✅ Why some of us repeat unhealthy partner patterns, even after leaving one relationship✅ How subtle resentment can become the real deal-breaker✅ Why defaulting to "I’ll just do it myself" can backfire over time✅ And the game-changing power of real, courageous, I-message based communicationCatherine also shares insights from Brené Brown’s approach to vulnerable conversations and why chores apps might not be the answer if they take empathy out of the equation.🛑 This episode ends on a cliffhanger — because the second half of this conversation is just as juicy. Tune in to Part 2 next week where we explore…whether chores apps can actually helphow to stop scorekeeping and start solution-sharingand 4 practical tools to reset the dynamic in your relationship.Resources & Mentions:Follow us on Instagram:@coachtanutiwari@feed_slay_loveLearn more about our coaching work:https://theconsciousleaderco.comhttps://catherinenuss.comWant to be featured in a future episode?
