Dishes, Dusting, & Dinner Prep Are Gender Neutral

In this episode, Paula dismantles one of the most persistent myths still haunting households: the idea that domestic tasks come with gender labels. Using a relatable story from herown life, she illustrates how invisible labour, mental load, and outdated expectations quietly shape relationships. Paula reminds midlife listeners that they’ve spent decades being told to “do it all,” but in their 50s, it’s time to rewrite the script. Domestic responsibility belongs to adults, not genders.
