This episode dives into weaponized incompetence—the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) way people avoid responsibility by pretending they’re just not capable. We’ll talk about how this shows up in marriages, parenting, and daily life, and why women—especially moms—are left carrying the mental, emotional, and physical load.
