For so many, resentment is a familiar choice. It feels so much more powerful than guilt–so we make it our go-to emotion. Especially for us doctor’s wives who are so used to doing so much on our own. But I have good news for you–resentment and guilt are not your only options. In this episode, I want to show you how to break this cycle. How to retrain your brain because resentment isn’t actually powerful, it’s a powerless emotion because with resentment, someone else has to change in order for you to feel better.

Ready to stop feeling angry at your husband

before he even walks through the door at night?

Not keeping score doesn’t require you to keep quiet and silently seeth while doing everything on your own. It does help you let go of anger and resentment and focus on solutions instead of scoreboards. It means you make room for working together instead of feeling isolated and alone.
