Same Team Different Roles
Same Team, Different Roles: The Mental Load Dads Carry
This week on We Were Just Talking, Kiera’s husband Mitch joins us for an honest chat about fatherhood, marriage and the mental load dads carry.
We often talk about the invisible work of motherhood, but what does that look like from a dad’s perspective? We explore the pressures, responsibilities and worries dads hold, and how to understand each other when your roles look different.
In this episode, we cover:
The mental load of fatherhood and the pressures that can go unspoken.
Balancing work, family life and being a present partner and dad.
Feeling responsible for providing and keeping everything together.
How mums and dads can experience the same household differently.
Communicating what you need without turning it into a competition.
Appreciating each other’s contributions while sharing the load.
An honest conversation about remembering you’re on the same team—even when you’re carrying different things.

We Said What We Said.... Don't Come For Us
This week on We Were Just Talking, Erin and Kiera are sharing their unpopular opinions and the hills they would absolutely die on. Some are serious, some are petty, and some might make us question how we’re still friends.
We get into motherhood, relationships, everyday habits and the little things that annoy us more than they probably should. Do we agree with each other? Not always. Will we defend our opinions anyway? Obviously.
Have a hill you’d die on? Share it with us and don't forget to follow us on the socials.
