361. Why Delegating Never Makes You Less Tired

Why Delegating Never Makes You Less Tired

Every household has one: the person who knows when the prescriptions are running low, when the pet food is almost out, which kid has a field trip on Thursday, and when the car is due for an oil change. That person is "the glue" and it's a job that never came with a job description.

The advice we all get is to ask for help...delegate, get something off your list. So you do it, and somehow you feel exactly as heavy as you did before. 

In this episode I am breaking down the difference between holding something and doing something, why those are two completely different jobs, and what has to actually change if you want the weight to move off you for good. 

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

  • What is still sitting on your plate after your partner does the exact thing you asked them to do.
  • The measuring stick most women were handed growing up, and how it is different from the one our partners got.
  • Why "what can I do to help" is the wrong question, and the one I actually want to hear instead.
  • How to pick the first thing to hand over, and the two words that decide whether it sticks.
