Resentment Towards Husband

NATALIE BACON
About this episode

Do you feel like you're doing EVERYTHING at home and it's just not fair? You take care of so much that contributes to the mental load, seeing your spouse not step up can be perfect grounds for resentment. The problem is that this doesn't get him to change. In fact, it creates more disconnection in your marriage. 

 

So, what are you to do? In this podcast, you'll learn exactly how to work through resentment so you can show up as the wife you want to be, including doing less, meeting your own needs, and increasing communication from connection. 

 

Instead of feeling like you're at the affect of your life, you'll feel empowered to make choices that lead you towards the life you want.
