About this listen
Why do high-achieving, professional women feel like they're failing at home? She can command a boardroom from 9-to-5, but at 6 PM, she starts her "second shift" of domestic work while her equal partner rests.
This is Part 2 of our 7-part series, "The Woman Who Does Nothing At Home."
In this episode of The Deep Dive, relationship coach PG Sebastian explores the "identity whiplash" of the modern working woman (Sarah) and the partner (John) who respects her career but fails to see the second, unpaid job she does every night.
We explore:
The psychological split between the "CEO" and the "Chief Home Officer."
How the "Second Shift" is the true source of the "leaky pipeline" of female leadership.
The high cost of this imbalance: the erosion of intimacy, profound resentment, and deep, personal burnout.
The "Reckoning": When a woman is forced to "quiet quit" either her job or her marriage, just to survive.
This is a pathfinding conversation for high-powered couples. PG Sebastian provides a sophisticated, "C-Suite" level framework to move beyond simple "chore charts" and build a new marital contract based on shared capacity, strategic outsourcing, and the mutual defense of each other's rest.
