When Roles Shift in Relationships

The Black Effect and iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

What does partnership actually look like when you’re not trying to lose yourself in the process?

This week, Good Moms chat about  the pressure of “wife duties,” keeping intimacy alive, the lifelong classroom of mother–daughter relationships, and how to balance it all.

You can expect to hear:

  • (04:30) Victoria’s Secret lies, and why pregnancy boobs are both the best and worst.
  • (12:15) Pregnancy brain and "deleting" o r “missing years” of early motherhood
  • (18:40) The weird things no one tells you
  • (26:00) Talking to your mom as an adult, and realizing you’ll always be her “child” no matter your age.
  • (42:15) Moving in with a partner: why Mila suddenly feels like a housewife now that Orlando’s back in the workforce.
  • (56:20) Erica’s story of caring for a sick partner and questioning how ready she really is for “in sickness and in health.”
  • (01:05:00) ChatGPT defines “wife duties” (and the ladies call BS, while making it way funnier).
  • (01:15:00) How to keep sex and passion alive in long-term relationships and why Milah refuses to accept the relationship park dimming/dying.
