  • In this week's episode of the podcast, I dive into the topic of being the "default parent"—the one who primarily manages our child's basic needs and household duties. 

    I explore the heavy mental and emotional load that comes with this role. Many working moms, including myself, often find ourselves as the default parent, not necessarily because of our partners, but due to our own choices and behaviors. 

    I share insights on how stepping back and redistributing household responsibilities can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life, both professionally and personally. Working moms, this is one you’ll definitely want to tune into.

    Topics in this episode:The concept of the "default parent" who primarily manages children's basic needs and household tasks.The mental and emotional load carried by the default parent.Reasons why working mothers often become the default parent beyond partner involvement.Strategies for relinquishing control and redistributing responsibilities within the household.The impact of these changes on achieving a balance between ambitious career goals and active parenting.
