About the topic:

In the thick of parenting, do you feel like you do too much in your relationship — managing, caretaking and keeping everything afloat — only to end up depleted and resentful? Or maybe your marriage has started to feel more like a business arrangement than a fulfilling partnership?

Explore how cultural conditioning pushes us toward over-functioning and codependency — often at the expense of personal fulfillment. Logan will dive into the emotional labor gap many parents face, the cycle of resentment and why relationship ruptures over “who does more” are so common. You’ll leave with insights on how to shift from burnout and imbalance to interdependence — where both partners feel valued, connected and deeply engaged in the partnership.
