39: Building equity at home with Zach Watson

Ever wish your partner could just see the weight you’re carrying? This episode is for you.👩‍❤️‍👨
This week, I sit down with Zach Watson - mental load coach and podcast host - whose viral content and coaching work are helping men understand the invisible labor of home life and take meaningful ownership of it.
Zach doesn’t just talk about mental load, he teaches men how to build emotional fluency, show up better in their relationships, and share the work of parenting, partnership, and home management in a real and lasting way. Inside this episode, we unpack what that process looks like, why it matters, and how it can actually work.

🎧 Specifically, we explore:
• What the “mental load” really is and why awareness alone isn’t enough
• Why so many women feel like they’re drowning, even when their partners are “helping”
• How Zach coaches men to take ownership of the home and build emotional intelligence
• How to approach these convos without starting a war in your marriage
Whether your partner is on board, oblivious, or somewhere in between, this episode offers hope, humor, and tactical ideas for creating more equity at home...and reclaiming your sanity in the process!
