Demanding What You Need From Your Partner

Dear Patriarchy

Jun 28 2021 • 30 mins

Welcome to Episode 12 of Series 2 where we're discussing what working women and working mothers need from their partners in order to survive & succeed. We work through 8 key points, starting with acknowledging that all mothers work (whether or not they get paid for it..!) and finishing with the need to show up every day for that partnership. We talk about how hard it is, particularly for women, to ask for what they need in a relationship with society's  heteropatriarchal expectations resting heavily on them and making them question if they're being selfish. We close the episode discussing how we are currently working to bring equality into our partnerships so that our mental load as working mothers is diminished. We hope it helps you too.
