    08/06/2026 | 16 mins.
    In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re discussing arguments with our partners – or specifically repeat ones.

    Do you ever feel like you’re having a repeat argument? It could be around Feeling unseen/ underappreciated, unequal mental load, different role expectations, lack of communication due to built up resentment? Well if this feels familiar you are not alone.

    We are spilling the tea on our repeat arguments, burnout, a need to leave the country and more…
