139: Why Division of Labor Is So Important to Me and What It Looks Like for Us
In this solo episode, I sit down to chat about division of labor and why I think it is such an important topic. I discuss the unfortunate reality that is the disadvantage, from the very beginning, the mother is put in when it comes to division of labor and why this topic is one that every couple should be discussing. I share stories submitted by the FF Family and also reflect on how Joe and I have evolved and grown since early postpartum. I share our struggles in navigating the topic and tools that helped us get to where we are today.
