The Quiet Resentment of Being the Default Parent
from Behind Every Great Man · host Jessica Zubchevich
In this episode, we discuss resentment most women don’t really admit, not the kind that comes from a bad life, but the quiet kind that builds inside a good one. The kind that shows up when you love your partner, adore your kids, and still feel like your needs keep getting pushed to the side. I share what it really means to be the default parent, how that invisible weight turns into frustration and disconnection, and why resentment is not something to be ashamed of but something to listen to. This is an invitation to start naming what’s true, to take responsibility for your inner world without blame, and to create space for yourself before resentment takes over, because you can love your life deeply and still need more, both things can be true.
