On today's podcast episode I'm going to talk about a challenge that touches almost every family that I work with, in to my own.

What’s the obstacle? One parent (usually the mom) acts as the leader for the child’s journey of advocacy, support, logistical management and emotional heavy lifting while the other parent is the less involved follower.
It leads to resentment and frustration on behalf of the fatigued leader, who feels like the follows isn’t pulling their weight.
