Fixing the Mental Load Won’t Save Your Sex Life

Feeling resentful, disconnected, or just done with intimacy because you're the one holding everything together?

Or maybe you're doing your share—and still hearing that it’s not enough?

This episode is for you.

We’re diving into the mental load: what it really is, how it impacts your nervous system (and your sex life), and why even splitting things 50/50 doesn’t always fix the spark.

Spoiler: doing the dishes isn’t foreplay if you’re not emotionally connected.

👇 In this episode, you’ll learn:

•  What the mental load really is (and how it messes with your libido)

•  The “silver bullet” myth: why more help doesn’t always = more sex

•  When fairness falls flat: the emotional load of doing life together

•  Why we need to stop stop fixing your partner—start rebuilding connection

•  3 tools to rebuild intimacy without more pressure

Let’s flip the script on desire and resentment. Because sex after kids shouldn’t feel like another job.
