  <title>Episode 140 - The invisible workload of women TTC (and how to get your partner involved)</title>
  <description>My husband Dan attended a work conference a couple weekends ago in Banff, Alberta.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; It was a gathering of female physicians with a focus on mental health.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; I wasn’t there. But it was a shock to Dan that so many women are struggling getting their partners on board with the day to day tasks that make adulting feel so hard. &amp;amp;nbsp; Women do so much.&amp;amp;nbsp;It’s called the “invisible workload” and it encompasses the intangible and often unnoticed tasks and responsibilities involved in managing a household and even more so in your case, the fertility journey.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; It’s very common for women to&amp;amp;nbsp; struggle to create a more equal role of responsibility on the fertility journey. Not sharing the responsibility of this journey with your partner adds a ton of pressure to the woman, while also making her feel fully responsible to “make it happen.”&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; This week, I interviewed my husband Dan on the Fertile Ground podcast to create common ground towards a solution. I’m so excited for you to listen! (And omg can I just tell you – I am so in love with this man.) &amp;amp;nbsp; Men are different. They think and do things differently. But this doesn’t mean we can’t come together to achieve our goals and live a beautiful life… where we take on equal roles to make sure everyone is rested and happy  &amp;amp;nbsp; TBH, making this transition to equality wasn’t easy for Dan and I. But you can listen and learn from our mistakes  &amp;amp;nbsp; This week you will learn the 3 steps on how to create more equality in your partnership: &amp;amp;nbsp;   Accept that men and women are different (and why this isn’t a bad thing).   Disarm each other when you get activated.&amp;amp;nbsp;   How to ask for what you want and need from each other.&amp;amp;nbsp;   &amp;amp;nbsp; You’re gonna LOVEEEE this episode!&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; A weight is going to be lifted off of your shoulders.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; The pressure isn’t yours to hold mama bear. &amp;amp;nbsp; Listen now! </description>
