Emotional Labor - Who Takes Care Of What? Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Author Gemma Hartley caused quite a stir with a Vanity Fair article about the "emotional labor" a woman goes through in running a household that goes way beyond the errands list.

This week, Nathan and Ashley dig into the four critical components to carrying the emotional labor load together for the family, and working together toward a common goal. From their perspectives of having experienced both sides of the fence, gender roles may be fuzzy, but strength roles for each individual reigns supreme.

Feeling Anxious? Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

If election week doesn't make you anxious enough, we could just pile on COVID, politics in general, protests, or all of 2020 to throw us for a loop. Or, remember back in 2019 or 2000 when we had anxiety and we didn't even have a concept of the craziness this year would bring!

This week we tackle those anxious feelings and how to get a handle on them with 4 strategies to combat anxiety, as well as how to reset the mental roadblocks that hold us back and focus, instead, on what we can control.
