On this episode of Emotionally Unfucked, we welcome Gemma Hartley, author and writing coach, as a guest to talk to us about her book Fed Up. Gemma’s article "Women Aren’t Nags; We’re Just Fed Up" went viral in 2017, sparking a national conversation on the mental load that women have been expected to burden and leading to her book, Fed Up. Her book not only names the problem of invisible work but also lays down the groundwork for men and women to learn how to wield emotional labor to live more full and satisfying lives.

We’re chatting more about:

How her viral article idea turned into a book
What is emotional labor and how it breaks down into 4 different parts
The conversations partners should be having to help the burden
The first step is to start dividing the emotional labor in a household
Negative effects of not sharing the mental load
