When the mental load starts to pile up, even the strongest relationships begin to crack.
Zach Watson joins us to unpack how small, unseen responsibilities, remembering appointments, managing the household, anticipating needs that add up to burnout and resentment.

He shares the real story behind his viral Mental Load series, how he and his wife rebuilt trust after separation, and what the Fair Play Method taught him about equity, empathy, and accountability.
We dive deep into how to stop “helping” and start owning 100%, close the “last 20%” gap, and finally share the mental and emotional weight that keeps most couples stuck.

In this episode, we sit down with therapists Rebecca Webster and Pablo Alvarez of Connection Counselling to break down how attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, disorganized, secure) show up during separation and divorce, and what actually helps. We cover emotional regulation vs flooding, why boundaries matter, and why not bad-mouthing the other parent is non-negotiable if you want secure, resilient kids. You’ll hear practical guidance on co-parenting, the danger of using kids as emotional support, litigation vs mediation, and how to avoid panic decisions (like giving up decision-making) when you’re dysregulated.
