Do You Resent Your Partner For The Mental Load? Try This Expert Advice, with Dr Morgan Cutlip

Why does resentment feel so universal in motherhood - even in the strongest relationships? In this conversation, Zoe sits down with relationship expert, Dr Morgan Cutlip, to unpack the quiet, creeping dynamic so many mothers experience: the feeling that your life has completely changed and your partner’s hasn’t. This episode is a powerful reframe. It will help you understand where resentment actually comes from (it’s not what you think), why it often begins in the earliest days of motherhood, and how invisible patterns like “mental load”, “precedents”, and the myth of maternal instinct are shaping your relationship without you even realising. If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I the only one carrying this?” - this conversation will give you language, clarity, and a way forward. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why resentment in motherhood is so common - and what’s really driving it How the “mental load” quietly builds and becomes overwhelming What “precedents” are - and how they set up imbalance before you even notice Why the idea of “maternal instinct” can actually create inequality How early motherhood dynamics shape your relationship long-term Practical ways to start shifting the imbalance (without blame or conflict) Watch every full episode on YouTube and
