Today, we’re introducing a new conversation format that we’ll be working into the mix called Good Life Jams. These sessions take on 2-3 hot topics and go deep. Today’s conversation partner is Leah Smart, a senior editor at LinkedIn, a writer and speaker, and the host of <a href="https://pod.link/1457513598" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Everyday Better</a>.The topics we’re digging into: When women earn more, the physical housework shrinks. The mental load doesn&#39;t move at all. What’s going on there? And why are self-help books crashing, while coaching is taking off? In this conversation, you&#39;ll explore:<ul><li>Why the most common fix for an overloaded household leaves the heaviest part completely untouched</li><li>The question Leah&#39;s husband asked her about the word "good" that quietly reset her entire standard for running a home</li><li>What the data leaves out, and why the scorekeeping it invites can erode a long partnership</li><li>Self-help book sales fell roughly 25% in a year while coaching grew about 15%, and what people are actually paying for instead</li><li>The one thing a human can do that no book and no chatbot can, which may be the real reason the advice stopped working</li></ul>Both halves of this conversation land in the same place, which is that the discomfort you keep trying to optimize away is usually the thing worth turning toward instead.You can find Leah at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsleahsmart/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://substack.com/@itsleahsmart" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Everyday Better with Leah Smart Substack</a> | <a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/podcast/mental-load-of-motherhood-leah-smart" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode Transcript</a>Check out our sponsors and resources: <a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/sponsors/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Our Sponsor Page</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
