StepChange Living

Welcome to StepChange Living.

If you're an overwhelmed parent or partner who wants practical, research-backed tools — not more advice you already know — you're in the right place.

I'm Michael — a researcher, husband, and father who translates the science of parenting, mental load, and relationships into frameworks you can use. Think Dr. Becky Kennedy, John Gottman, and Eve Rodsky — translated into plain language.

You'll find longform podcast-style episodes on:
• The mental load — what it is, why it falls to you, and how to shift it
• Parenting — emotional regulation, repair, gentle parenting research
• Relationships — Gottman's research, connection rituals, apology science
• Personal growth — self-compassion, habit formation, mindset science
