Ep. 312 The Costs of Emotional Labor and Radical Delegation

2025-06-10

In this episode, Polly talks with Dr. Regina Lark and explores the notion of radical delegation—the practice of handing off tasks not to the most qualified person in the household but to the person who has time and can get them done. We talk about what it means to embrace "good enough," move forward, and free ourselves from perfectionism. Dr. Lark also dives into the invisible weight of emotional labor, especially the toll it takes on women and how it affects relationships, families, and our well-being.
