I do think as a couple when you're making decisions, you have to speak up and use what you learned.

0:07.3

So if you're one of those partners out there and you're feeling so resentful, like you constantly feel depleted, you're in a bad mood, you're mad at your partner.

0:17.6

I do think it is part of your job to say, hey, that did not work for me.

0:22.8

Like we need a better solution. It can all be on my shoulders. We've got to figure out what's

0:28.0

going to work a little bit better. I'm Amy. And I'm Abby. And as women, we are constantly

0:37.1

comparing ourselves to others.

0:39.5

But your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best self means standing firm in your

decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real with an honest

look into the challenges and triumphs we all face. Every woman listening

2:06.9
