Episode description

One of the most common complaints I hear from women when it comes to taking more time for themselves is that they can’t because their partner won’t step up and pitch in. And my first question is always “well, have you asked them for help? Have you specifically asked them for what you need?” And there are generally two responses to this:

1) Oh. I guess I haven’t, I was just hoping he would see that I needed help and then step in. OR
2) YES I’VE ASKED. I’ve yelled, I’ve pleaded, I’ve cried, but WHY should I even have to ask?! Why is this the woman’s job to keep track of it all?! Men need to step the fuck up!

As you can see, these are two very different responses. The first is “oh, I guess I need to learn how to ask and how to receive” and the second is “yes I’ve asked, but the way I’m asking isn’t be heard”.

In today’s episode, I’m going to help you navigate both of these scenarios so that you can create a home environment where you feel fully supported by your partner.
