In today’s episode of Evolve Ventures, we tackle the frustration of being more of a caregiver than an equal partner. We discuss how unchecked gender norms and unspoken expectations create imbalances, leading one person to take on a parenting role. You’ll hear real-life client stories and practical strategies to shift from resentment to healthier communication. Whether in a relationship or preparing for one, this episode will help you set clearer expectations and create a more balanced, fulfilling partnership.
