Do you ever feel like if you stopped holding everything together, the whole house of cards would collapse? From remembering birthdays to managing moods, many high-achieving partners carry a silent weight: emotional labor.
In this week’s episode of Relationship Reset, Katie dives deep into what emotional labor really means, why it drains your connection, and how to finally make it a shared responsibility—without starting another argument that begins with, “I do everything around here!”
You’ll learn:
💡 The hidden mental load that keeps couples stuck in resentment
💡 Why high achievers fall into “I’ll just handle it” mode (and how it backfires)
💡 How early coping patterns shape the way you manage emotions as an adult
💡 The Maximizer–Minimizer dynamic and how to rebalance it
💡 Four practical steps to make emotional labor visible and shared
Katie also walks you through an “emotional labor audit” that will help you see what you’re managing, how it’s affecting you, and how to create more balance as a team. Because when both partners see and share the invisible work, the relationship shifts from performance review to true partnership.
