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.   Women do so much. It\u2019s called the \u201cinvisible workload\u201d 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.    It\u2019s very common for women to  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 \u201cmake it happen.\u201d    This week, I interviewed my husband Dan on the Fertile Ground podcast to create common ground towards a solution. I\u2019m so excited for you to listen! (And omg can I just tell you \u2013 I am so in love with this man.)   Men are different. They think and do things differently. But this doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t come together to achieve our goals and live a beautiful life\u2026 where we take on equal roles to make sure everyone is rested and happy   TBH, making this transition to equality wasn\u2019t easy for Dan and I. But you can listen and learn from our mistakes   This week you will learn the 3 steps on how to create more equality in your partnership:   Accept that men and women are different (and why this isn\u2019t a bad thing). Disarm each other when you get activated.  How to ask for what you want and need from each other.    You\u2019re gonna LOVEEEE this episode!    A weight is going to be lifted off of your shoulders.    The pressure isn\u2019t yours to hold mama bear.   Listen now!
