In this unfiltered episode, Britt speaks honestly about the weight of being the primary parent, navigating sobriety, and the emotional labor that women silently carry in their homes. She dives into pre-regulation, resentment, boundaries, and the strange guilt that shows up when you stop managing everyone else’s feelings. This isn’t man-bashing — it’s truth-telling from a woman learning to take responsibility for her own emotions instead of absorbing everyone’s. It’s raw, real, a little fiery, and deeply human. If you’ve ever felt invisible in your own household or tired of holding the emotional clipboard for grown adults, this one will hit home.
