78: Addressing the Mental Load of Clutter with Dr. Morgan Cutlip  
Podcast: Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living
Published On: Tue Apr 01 2025
Description: "What if our partner says they'll do something, but they don't follow through?" "How do we get our partners to care about all the details of home/family management?" These are just two of the questions I ask relationship expert and author Dr. Morgan Cutlip on today's episode of Paring Down. "The mental load" is a big term getting a lot of attention these days because it's an important component to healthy, happy relationships. Clutter can feel like one big "to-do" list, and if we shoulder the responsibility for dealing with it by ourselves, it's recipe for resentment and disconnection in our relationship. In today's episode, relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip shares about her new book "A Better Share: How Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment, and Great Sex," coming out April 15th. I think you'll love her positive yet realistic take. Paring Down Instagram: ⁠⁠@paring_down⁠ Paring Down Newsletter: The L.E.S.S. Express Paring Down Webiste & Blog Paring Down YouTube DR.
