listen. i know...
… your partner is an amaaazing parent to your kids.
And a wonderful partner to you. Most days, you feel so lucky.
BUT ALSO… you feel overwhelmed by daily life.
If one more thing gets added to your mental to-do list, you might collapse.
Heaven forbid you get sick. How will this carefully orchestrated circus go on without you?
But you just can’t figure out how to make things change.
Most days you hesitate to bring it up with your partner because…
you don’t want to seem ungrateful and you don’t want to make them feel like a bad husband or bad father.
It seems "easier" for everyone that you keep being the Taskmaster. (Even though you know deep down that burnout city is close.)

Hi! I'm Catherine....
Gender roles have always bugged me.
When I was in college, I did a research paper on Halloween costumes for children and couldn’t believe what I found. For boys? Scary, violent & tough costumes, like ninjas + ghouls. For girls? Lots of pretty princesses + caring professions.
So many of the disparities for adults come from outdated gender roles. And it starts so early…
So I founded Think or Blue, a movement to support children to thrive in a world free from gender stereotypes. Now I coach caregivers to use feminist parenting strategies to unravel old gender roles so that children can be proud of who they are.
But, as adults, we struggle, too. Even with a super supportive spouse at home, there were days that I juggled the breast pump, daycare drop-offs + late hours at work, feeling like it could all come crashing down if one thing went wrong.
After seeing so many moms in my community struggle with burnout & overwhelm, I became a certified Fair Play Facilitator. With these tools, I help drained parents implement systems that truly work to balance out the mental load & rediscover their passions and purpose.
Will you wake up one day & barely recognize yourself? I know you want your family to be proud of you… not just for being a good mom or a good wife, but for being an interesting person who goes for her dreams!
Are you ready? Can’t wait to see you there!
Q: What if I can't attend live?
