Ever feel like motherhood is a never-ending juggling act—and maybe just a tad unfair? Same.

Paige Connell (aka @sheisapaigeturner) is in the house today and we’re chatting the mental load of motherhood, gender inequality in marriage, and all the unspoken truths so many of us have felt but haven’t quite found the words to say—until now.

This conversation is raw, validating, and full of “YES, exactly!” moments. If you're a mom who's ever felt overwhelmed, under-supported, or just plain fed up, you’re going to feel SO seen. And for our male listeners, this one's for you too!
