Send us Fan Mail

Have you ever had the feeling that you are the one making everything work?

That you are the one holding it all together—and that if you stopped, even for a day, everything would fall apart?

Not just physically.

Mentally.

Emotionally.

Relationally.

You're the one who remembers the dentist appointment nobody else put on the calendar. You're the one who notices when your kid is off before they say a word. You're the one quietly managing the emotional temperature of every room you walk into.

And nobody asked you to do it.

You just... do it.

Because you always have.

Today I want to talk about the truth about being Superwoman in your midlife marriage. Not as a compliment. Not as a badge of honor. But as what it often feels like from our perspective: a burden that none tof us knew we were signing up for when we got married. I’m pretty sure none of us were aware of the overfunctioning we’d find ourselves dealing with at this point in our lives. Or at any point, actually. 

We have real conversations here…the ones a lot of people are to afraid to have. But that’s now how we do things here. Because change can only start with awareness. And that awareness is what we’re after today.
