Discover our Parenting Team podcast!
30 March, 2023
At Les Belles Combines, we care deeply about sharing the mental load fairly, and with that in mind we created the Parenting Team podcast, in which Dominique talks with public figures from different walks of life with diverse personal and family realities to discuss the issues and challenges of family life and of this important sharing of the mental load within the family.
So, like a peek through a keyhole at Quebec families, this podcast aims to be a collective reflection on the roles each of us takes on and on why those roles are so deeply rooted in us that for some they are hard to swap.
Discover our first seven episodes now:
Parenting revolution
With Valérie Harvey and Mathieu Gratton, Dominique discusses how parental roles have evolved over time and wonders how far there is still to go.
Alternating parental leave
With Véronique Hivon and Tristan Champion, the topic is alternating parental leave and its main differences from traditional Quebec parental leave.
Mom guilt, when it has us in its grip!
With Madeleine Arcand and Nathalie Plaat, we chat about mom guilt! Is there a way to temper that feeling and delegate more tasks to your partner without feeling like you're failing at your role as a mother?
Finances and love, a Pandora's box
Annie Drapeau and Pierre-Yves McSween talk with Dominique about an issue that divides many couples: money!
The kitchen has no gender
Planning menus, anticipating and preparing meals, managing the food budget... the mental load of managing meals is often heavy! Dominique chats about it with her guests Geneviève O'Gleman and Antoine Sicotte.
Blending the family
With Suzanne Vallières and Patrick Marsolais, we chat about the sometimes complicated reality of blended families and the many challenges they face!
Mental overload
In this episode, we don't just talk about the mental load, we also offer concrete solutions for lightening it, thanks to the wise advice of our guests Derrick Frenette and Amélie Châteauneuf.
