  • Sales pitch 😔

    This podcast is a constant sales pitch for her company. Every interview is interrupted with “don’t forget I have this…..”. We want good content, not a commercial. And the way the words are emphasized make me cringe. 😣

Invisible Labor Is Real And It's Exhausting with Zach Watson
Q: How do you define invisible labor in a practical sense for couples?
Invisible labor is the cognitive and emotional work people do to anticipate needs, plan ahead, and manage the atmosphere in a household. It's the mental load that doesn't show up as a task but drives decisions and timing, and it often falls disproportionately on one partner.

Q: How did you get started with roleplay dates?
Katie describes how, while in survival mode with young children, she and her husband rediscovered connection by trying a playful, novel approach, which evolved into Faithful Fling.
