In this 32-minute episode, I reconnect with Elizabeth Earnshaw, also known as Liz Listens on Instagram, returning to the podcast after five years. Elizabeth, a couples therapist and author of I Want This to Work and Till Stress Do Us Part, shares her personal and professional journey into understanding how invisible external stressors impact relationships. We explore the concept of mental load disparities, varied stress responses, like the venomous king cobra, fearful deer, and playing dead opossum, and how these dynamics play out in partnerships under pressure. Elizabeth breaks down the importance of emotional attunement during life’s transitions, the delicate balance between our emotional and wise minds, and how couples can set compassionate boundaries or repair relationship ruptures when they arise. This episode offers invaluable, practical tools and insights into navigating real-world stress together with empathy and collaboration, reminding us that dropping entitlement and accepting life’s challenges as a team strengthens our most important bonds.
