Feeling overwhelmed by the mental load of motherhood? You are not alone, and there is a better way. In this episode, relationship expert and psychologist Dr. Morgan Cutlip returns to the Doctor Mom Podcast to unpack what is really behind the mental load many moms carry and how it impacts your relationship, emotional health, and even your sex life. You will learn how to lighten the invisible to do list, communicate effectively with your partner without it turning into a blame game, and rebuild connection in a way that feels genuine and natural. Dr. Cutlip shares relatable stories, practical frameworks, and powerful mindset shifts that help moms move from resentment to reigniting the spark with their partners. We also explore the concept of intensive mothering and how the pressure to do everything perfectly is leaving many moms feeling exhausted and unseen.

Whether you are craving more connection, appreciation, or simply a lighter mental load, this is your invitation to create more balance in your relationship and reconnect with your sense of self. Do not miss this encouraging conversation filled with practical tools to help you reclaim your time, energy, and joy.

This week on the podcast, I'm joined once again by the brilliant Dr. Morgan Cutlip- author, psychologist, and relationship expert. She is known for equipping individuals and couples with practical, down-to-earth tools to navigate the most challenging parts of relationships. She has a true gift for turning psychological research into relatable, real-life strategies, and she shares her wisdom through her books, courses, blog, podcast, and social media platforms. Morgan first joined us to talk about her book Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself, and now she's back with her brand-new release, A Better Share, which just dropped last week.  In this episode, we talk about the “invisible load” so many of us carry in marriage and relationships. From emotional labor and intimacy to resentment and repair, Morgan helps us understand what's really going on beneath the surface- and how to stop feeling like you're carrying it all alone. Heads up: we touch on some adult topics, so this one might be best saved for when little ears aren't around.  I know you're going to love Morgan's wisdom, insights and message of hope today! 4:01 – Morgan 201 •    Life in a book-writing hole •    Kids getting older •    The bob is bobbing! 6:56 – Morgan's Expertise And Book Launch •    Morgan's background in psychology •    Helping women stay connected to themselves •    How Morgan's experience and others' experiences influenced this book 11:28 – The Mental Load •    Defining “the mental load” •    The weight on women  •    The emotional work of home and family  15:00 – Challenges In Modern Relationships  •    Why couples end up in imbalanced relationship dynamics  •    How women are socialized to self-sacrifice •    Breaking under the weight of assumed responsibility 20:43 – Repairing Resentment and Rebuilding Intimacy •    Talking about these issues without defensiveness •    Externalizing the problem and setting up conversations well •    5 key conversations couples should be having  •    Practical tools for improving relationships •    Getting your copy of Morgan's book   FEATURED QUOTES “If we just point the finger at our partners, it's not going to get us to a better place.” “Everybody has a mental load…However, in home and family life, research shows us time and time again, even when women work full time, part time or stay at home parents, it doesn't matter, we tend to carry the bulk of it.” “When couples stop talking about the little things, they stop reaching for the big things, like intimacy.” Learn more about Morgan: https://drmorgancutlip.com/ My Love Thinks: https://www.mylovethinks.com/ My Love Thinks Podcast: https://www.mylovethinks.com/relationship-podcast/ Get Your Copy of A Better Share: https://drmorgancutlip.com/bs-preorder/ Get your Copy of Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself https://drmorgancutlip.com/book/ Morgan on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmorgancutlip/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/mylovethinks/  

In this episode, I'm getting real about what actually shifts after you become a mom—especially once your kids hit that school-age stage. I'm sharing a mix of personal stories, voice notes from you (my amazing Instagram fam), and some serious wisdom from Dr. Morgan Cutlip's book Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself that I think every mom should read. We're talking about: The invisible mental load that no one prepares you for Why motherhood sometimes feels like a seven-layer cake of pressure (yes, really) How to handle tantrums without losing your cool (or your mind) The unexpected ways your identity shifts after kids What it really means to aim for “okay-ish” motherhood—and why that's more than enough Whether you're deep in the trenches or just trying to figure out who you are now that “mom” is part of your title, this episode is here to remind you: you're not alone, and you're doing better than you think.

We are in for such a fun conversation today with Dr. Morgan Cutlip, author of A Better Share: How Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment, and Great Sex, which is out April 8. In today's episode, Morgan teaches us why understanding the mental load is so important to a successful partnership. She teaches us that the mental load is comprised of three parts—physical, cognitive, and emotional, and we talk about that, as well as the cycle of unmet needs, the PAR acronym and what it means for both men and women, and what the death spiral is in a relationship. We also talk about what the default partner versus the non-default partner means as far as ownership of a task, and so much more from this great book. Morgan calls herself a “lifelong lover of all things relationship,” and she has worked in the field of relationship education for over 15 years alongside her dad, Dr. John Van Epp, who is the founder of Love Thinks and the developer of multiple relationship education courses that have been taught to over one million people worldwide. Morgan is also the author of the 2023 book Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself: 5 Steps to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout When You Already Have Too Much to Do, and she earned a master's degree in human development and family science and a doctorate in counseling psychology. She's also just so easy to talk to and so much fun. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed having this conversation.A Better Share: How Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment, and Great Sex by Dr. Morgan Cutlip

Strap in for a delightful rollercoaster of emotions in today's episode as we dive deep into the bustling world of motherhood, relationships, and the secret spices (literally) that make or break our daily interactions.  We're joined today by Morgan Cutlip, Ph.D., who holds a PhD in Psychology, and is the author of the new book: Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself: 5 Steps to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout When You Already Have Too Much to Do. Morgan shares the not-so-sparkly side of motherhood and how it's more teamwork than a solo mission. Husbands, take note: "Get in there" isn't just a suggestion—it's a necessity, especially when toddlers turn life into a full-contact sport!  Switching gears, Morgan breaks down her dad's legacy and her own work—the Relationship Attachment Model. Imagine your relationship as a stereo equalizer with sliders for 'know', 'trust', 'rely', 'commit', and 'touch'. Morgan encourages all moms (and dads) to know themselves and their needs. She offers up nuggets of wisdom on managing personal needs without turning into a walking mom-zombie of resentment. It's about finding that sweet spot where self-care meets care for others, without losing yourself to the daily grind. This episode isn't just a podcast; it's a survival guide, a therapy session, and a coffee chat with a good friend all rolled into one. Tune in, laugh, learn, and maybe even cry a little as we tackle the wild world of motherhood and relationships with humor, empathy, and expert insight.

For today's “Greatest Hits” episode, we are revisiting our interview with Dr. Morgan Cutlip. She joined us for episode 162 and episode 190. This episode we are focusing on how we take care of ourselves as mothers; how do we feel good inside motherhood? So many of her answers spoke directly to both of us.In her book, Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself, Dr. Morgan explains three core concepts moms face. She chats with us about these concepts including what we can do to help ourselves with the conflict of sacrificing our own identities in motherhood. We also discuss the core concept of idealization of motherhood and how intense our standards are on ourselves as parents. Ever feel like your needs aren't being met by your partner when it comes to sharing the load? Do you ask them for help but it never seems to go anywhere? Dr. Morgan shares actionable steps you can take when our own needs are not being met. She talks about how you can best manage all of our commitments and why that means you can't be 100 percent committed to everything at once. If the HERself podcast has made an impact on your life we would love it if you could help us in return.

Today's guest is Dr. Morgan Cutlip. She holds a PhD in Psychology and is a highly sought after relationship expert, content creator and writer whose most recent book Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself helps women to mother themselves the way they mother their kids and reclaim their own voice.  I wanted to bring Morgan on because, to reiterate, I think we've set up a system that isn't putting Moms in a position to succeed. They are expected to be everything to everyone--of course there's burnout and a feeling of failure in all areas. Morgan provides a path to see that motherhood isn't a restriction to your life and creativity, but rather, can be an expansion. From this conversation you'll learn: How to navigate the journey of motherhood without losing yourself  How to go from dream to releasing your creative project Why it's important to mother yourself as you would mother your children How to let go of the dream of balance and STILL find a way to have a full life Why it's possible AND Probable for moms to still have their great creative renaissance and unleash after birth How to regain your creative juice, post-baby How to deal with kids protesting your creative time What is required of a mother's partner in order to make mothering not feel impossible Why Motherhood is an expansion not a restriction  And Much More! -Remember to subscribe/follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

This episode is for moms who are drowning in this season. After years of rarely talking about parenthood on this show, this topic suddenly continues to find me. I'm not sure if this because of my kids' ages (11 & 13) or just the season I'm in, but motherhood is something I want to talk about more now than I did when the kids were young.  My guest today is Dr. Morgan Cutlip, a highly sought after relationship expert, who has helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide learn how to form and maintain healthy relationships. Dr. Morgan has been a featured relationship expert with Good Morning America, Teen Vogue, and The New York Times. Her new book, Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself, is out now. Dr. Morgan and I talk about motherhood as an identity and the mental load of parenting that so often falls more heavily on women. We also discuss how that affects our mood, our partnerships and sex drive. I even share a real life example of this dynamic happening in my home right now. If you've been carrying the mental load in your family, I hope this conversation resonates with you and that you'll know you're not alone.  LEARN MORE ABOUT DR. MORGAN CUTLIP HERE FOLLOW DR.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we're talking about such a needed topic. I got to hang out with Dr. Morgan Cutlip to chat about burnout, in particular moms, and we got to dive into actual practical self-care and how it isn't prescriptive, and that what works for one person is going to be different than what works for someone else. I love this so much because I think so much of our burnout comes back to how we're taking care of ourselves, and what does that look like, and what are the narratives around it, what's the access to it. There's so much that's packed into this. I got to chat about comparison and how that comes up for me, or even our goals and how parenting expectations have shifted and what's working both for us as parents and for kids, and what isn't, and how we can take a good hard look at this so that we can truly show up with more energy and engagement and feeling like ourselves. Morgan wrote the book "Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself", and she's incredible. She's a psychotherapist, and it's packed full of incredible tips and strategies and really truly like practical and applicable.

Caught amid the endless, conflicting demands of caring for their families, hustling at work, managing their households, and a million-and-one other tasks, chores, and responsibilities, it's no wonder mom rage and mom guilt are at an all-time high. Working moms feel like they're responsible for everything, but nothing they do matters. They are doing it all—but getting nowhere.This is a feeling I know well. A practicing pediatrician and mother of two daughters—including one with special needs—I tried to do it all for years…until one particularly bad week brought me to her knees, and then to a revelation: I couldn't wait years for the systems of inequality and cultural pressures women face to change, I needed a plan to fix my life now. A plan that would help me stop over-functioning, stop blaming myself, and start creating a life that was centered on me. My values, my priorities, my vision of a purposeful, aligned life. Years later, I'm living my centered life and now I want to help you do the same.In Doing It All, I share my blueprint for achieving a centered life as a real working mom with real working mom problems. This is not about achieving a dazzling fantasy life of ease, wealth, and perfection, but a realistic life that is purposeful, organized, and aligned with your personal values. A life where you're able to prioritize what really matters and where everything—even laundry—has its place. Work calls? Yep. Time with your kids? Absolutely. Time for yourself? A top priority (yes, you read that right!).This has nothing to do with manifesting positive vibes. You won't find a single affirmation here. Instead, you'll discover a practical framework, step-by-step plan, and over forty targeted exercises, prompts, and activities to help you:Create a vision of your life that is centered on your values and goals and then break that vision into actionable priorities so you can start making it a reality.

De-clutter your home, your calendar, and your mind of meaningless, burdensome junk Develop equity in your relationship with your parenting partner Create and maintain boundaries around emotionally laden calls on your attention. Give your kids what they need to be healthy, happy, and successful—without giving away too much of yourself.

Even though dads today are taking on more housework and childcare than in past generations, moms typically carry ALL the mental load for the family, a term referring to the cognitive logistics, worry, and decision-making involved in managing a household and family. The mental load can be described as an unending mental checklist that anticipates every need for the family and home. This might include strategizing meals, researching schools and the best eczema cream, remembering to schedule doctor's appointments, organizing calendars, managing the family's emotional needs, changing the bed sheets, signing Johnny up for soccer, remembering that the toilet paper is out, snacks are low, or whether you paid the babysitter last week, not to mention the endless worrying about your kids and if you're doing enough. This "invisible labor" often goes unnoticed by your partner. It's exhausting and no surprise we're dealing with an epidemic of burnout. Today's guest, relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip, PhD, has helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide learn how to form and maintain healthy relationships. Morgan knows what it feels like to lose yourself in motherhood, and she's determined to help mothers navigate it better. In this episode, Caitlin and Morgan talk about why carrying the mental load leads to burnout, how to start expressing our needs, and why they hate the term self-care. If that's not enough to lead you in the right direction, Morgan just wrote a book, Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself.

Dr. Morgan Cutlip is back on the show today. She first joined us for episode 162. Today we are focusing on how we take care of ourselves as mothers; how do we feel good inside motherhood? So many of her answers spoke directly to both of us.In her upcoming book, Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself, Dr. Morgan explains three core concepts moms face. She chats with us about these concepts including what we can do to help ourselves with the conflict of sacrificing our own identities in motherhood. We also discuss the core concept of idealization of motherhood and how intense our standards are on ourselves as parents. Ever feel like your needs aren't being met by your partner when it comes to sharing the load? Do you ask them for help but it never seems to go anywhere? Dr. Morgan shares actionable steps we can take when our own needs are not being met. She talks about how we can best manage all of our commitments and why that means we can't be 100 percent committed to everything at once. If the HERself podcast has made an impact on your life we would love it if you could help us in return.
