Yeah.

I mean, we're talking about Leah Ruppanner's, uh, study.

Big shout-out to Leah.

Take pictures of a messy room and a tidy room, and they say belong to either Jane or John, and they ask people a whole bunch of questions.

Mm-hmm.

That comes from a study by Leah Ruppanner's team.

Plus, in a mumdom, uh, pl- [laughs]

In a mumdom relationship.

How can we learn what to hold onto, what to share, and most importantly, what to let go of? I'm Yumi Stynes.

Ladies, we need to talk about redistributing the mental load with Leah Ruppanner.

[upbeat music]

How did you decide who would do the mental load in your household? Often people would say, "We didn't have any conversation about the mental load.

This was something that just happened." But nothing ever just happens, right?

Leah Ruppanner has spent the last five years working on a research project into the mental load.

She spoke to people in the US and Australia about how it impacts their day-to-day lives.

And not just women with kids, but childfree women, people caring for their aging parents, and importantly, men.
