Summary

The “Default parent” seems like modern parenting terminology, but it’s a real role. It can sometimes be associated with feelings of resentment and overwhelm if it’s not communicated. I welcome Erica Djossa, the CEO and founder of Momwell and the author of Releasing the Mother Load: How to Carry Less and Enjoy Motherhood More. We discuss: What the default parent is, and how someone knows they’re the default parent Why, in heterosexual relationships, have mothers taken on this role? How couples can communicate better to share the mental load and roles Connect with Erica on Instagram @momwell. Check out her new book! We love the sponsors that make this show possible!
