“There was a child that drowned when they were with their dad at a public pool and the mom was blamed while being five states away, and I thought, that was something I’d never considered, that women are blamed for the well-being of their children no matter what.”
Zach Watson joins me in today’s episode about Sharing Labor.
Zach is a content creator and coach teaching men to better see the invisible labor that is happening around them.
We discuss his awakening, examples of mental, emotional and domestic labor, why women carry so much of this load, how language is important, how to discuss this in our partnerships without triggering defensiveness, working on this ADHD, and supporting a societal shift toward greater equity.

95: Ceremony with Magdalena Garcia
“Ceremony is the point in time when we all know it’s time to stop . . . and honor something or someone. Ceremony is the time and the place. And ritual, those are the elements within ceremony that get us deeper, that actually encourage us to pause and find meaning. So the elements of ritual: things like symbolism, the activation of the senses . . . all of those things get us to here, now, which then helps us with the other element—what is the story underneath the story?”
Magdalena Garcia joins me in today’s episode about Ceremony.
Magdalena is a mother, educator, writer, birth story listener, parenting coach and ceremony facilitator.
We discuss the religion gap, tools for creating ceremonies, birthdays, transitions, birth, teenagers, and holidays.
