Summary
On this week's Cohosts For Life ep, we’re sharing a recent conversation about mental load, showing up differently in a relationship, and what it actually means to “step up.” Jake takes the lead on the mic as we talk about unlearning old patterns, sharing the doing, and why small, intentional actions matter more than big promises. We also introduce our new 20-week challenge: one hard thing each week, on purpose. From deleting social apps and waking up early to cooking all meals at home, journaling daily, and pushing ourselves out of autopilot. DM us or drop a Spotify comment of more challenge ideas you have.
