My Husband and I Watched a Documentary on Hulu. It Changed My Marriage
The mental load is real, but for modern couples—i.e. those with spouses that do make the effort to pitch in—it's also complex. In my own case, after surfacing (and lamenting) the mental load on more than one occasion to my husband, it became a sticking point…and one that required attention. (Our main point of contention was about the division of labor—my spouse was confused: Doesn't he also carry a portion of the mental load?) As we attempted to hash this out, I realized that my husband—who is hugely participatory in family life as we raise two boys—and I could benefit from watching the documentary, Fair Play Life, which is based on the bestselling book by Eve Rodsky, called Fair Play. Could we watch it together and come out with a deeper understanding of each other on the other side? We queued up Hulu to find out. Released in 2022 in partnership with Reese Witherspoon's production company, Hello Sunshine, Fair Play Life is based on Rodsky's book of the same name, Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much To Do (and More Life to Live). Told via the perspectives of actual couples, it offers a deep dive into the household division of unpaid labor for heterosexual couples, specifically when it comes to the ongoing (and mostly invisible) tasks of managing a home and family, aka the mental load. Immediately, it was easy to see bits and pieces of my own marriage in the faces of other couples. For one thing, my own propensity to just keep shouldering the load. (As one woman vents, just continuing to do the work is easier than training her partner, but it doesn't solve the problem—and 'round and 'round we go.) But I also clocked some key differences: My husband and I divvy up household- and family-related tasks regularly and often; we both work full-time, so share the childcare load if someone is home sick or has a day off from school. He cooks, I clean. I book the camps and make the pediatrician appointments, he grocery shops. But if the tasks are a 50/50 split, why was I continuing to feel so uniquely overwhelmed? (This was his question more than mine.) About 30 minutes into the film, my husband had a simple request: 'Let's both jot down our definition of the mental load before we continue.' We hit pause on the definition of the mental load, as informed by my work, but also my viewing (thus far) of the Fair Play Life film: 'The mental load is the invisible labor, the anticipation of tasks and the mental and emotional prep work that goes into managing a family and household. Less task execution and more task anticipation, organization and delegation.' (I read this to my spouse aloud.) For my husband, he viewed the mental load with a major distinction: 'It's the effort that goes into executing the tasks on our plate.' This was the moment I realized our divide. One of the most salient points that Fair Play Life drives home is the lack of recognition that men have for the mental load their wives carry. As she explains in the film, Rodsky better understood this in her own marriage after writing down a list she titled, 'The Shit I Do.' She narrowed those tasks to include anything that takes more than two minutes of time—for example, prepping school lunches, doctor's appointments, picking the kids up from school if they're sick. But she also accounted for the less talked about tasks: Sunscreen application takes two minutes, but she allows 30 minutes for the chase to pin her kids down and apply. Her agenda was to make the invisible visible. 'Can't wait to discuss,' she emailed her spouse. (Rodsky's own husband was shocked.) But that's what caught me off guard in my own marriage, as laid out by our varying definitions of the mental load. My husband viewed the mental load as the labor that goes into task execution (i.e. he makes a meal plan, he shops for groceries). I view it as the emotional baggage that leads up to the job. (Even though he cooks, I'm usually the one prodding him to set aside the time to meal plan; the one pinging him a reminder that we are missing a few ingredients if we still want to follow through on what we mapped out to cook, the one researching how exactly to introduce allergens to our baby.) Don't get me wrong: My husband is an expert at knocking things off the task list, but the burnout hits when you're the person plunking out the step-by-step process behind the to-dos. It sounds silly, but this tiny difference in our understanding of the mental load—not to mention the background the film provides about why women tend to be the ones to systemically carry it—felt like a breakthrough. It also gave us a road map for the future that also stems from Fair Play Life: My husband now feels a bit clearer on the mental load of any given task and wants to make a better effort with the invisible parts of our household to-dos. (Rodsky calls this the CPE: The Conception, Planning and Execution behind a task, with the cognitive aspects making up the bulk of the mental load.) Once again, our varying definitions come into play. So does executive functioning. (My husband is also working on systems that better prompt him to initiate when it comes to his weekly jobs.) All in all, we're forging ahead—but with a bit less friction when it comes to the to-dos on our plate. We Need to Teach Our Sons to Share the Mental Load (No, Chores Aren't Enough)

Reese Witherspoon oozes class in a sophisticated black midi dress at Tate Modern's star-studded 25th Anniversary Gala
Reese Witherspoon exuded elegance as she arrived at the star-studded Tate Modern 25th Anniversary Gala in London on Wednesday night. The American actress, 49, looked effortlessly chic in a sophisticated black midi dress as she posed up a storm for photographers outside the iconic venue. Her elegant ensemble featured an asymmetrical neckline, a black leather belt with gold hardware, and a figure-hugging silhouette. Adding a touch of height, Reese teamed the look with classic pointed black court heels and carried a sleek gold clutch. Other A-list guests in attendance included Daniel Craig, Bianca Jagger, Sir Grayson Perry, Gwendoline Christie, and Tracey Emin. Reese's outing comes after she announced Sunnie, a Gen Z-focused spin-off of her Hello Sunshine label, at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity earlier this month. The actress put on a leggy display in a chic white mini dress, featuring short puffed sleeves, a scoop neckline, a figure-hugging design, and exposed stitch detailing. Flaunting her long, toned pins, Reese added inches to her frame with a pair of white stiletto heels, which featured a large buckle fastening. On stage, Reese described Sunnie as a 'celebration' of young women's creativity, curiosity and agency. She said: 'It's been a dream of mine to build a space where young women can be the truest version of themselves, 'We've discovered that young women are not defined by doom and gloom as they're often portrayed in media – they're complex, creative individuals with incredible agency. 'Sunnie will be a celebration of that spirit, giving them the tools and community to navigate life's challenges while embracing their authentic selves.' According to The Hollywood Reporter, the multi-platform brand will feature collaborations with such Gen Z creators and celebrities as YouTuber Lana Condor, Canadian high diver and social media personality Molly Carlson, and Young Sheldon actress Raegan Revord. The group announced strategic alliances with organizations including Child Mind Institute, IF/THEN Initiative, and Purdue University, which will serve as the brand's official university partner. The Sunnie ecosystem will span social content, digital zines, book clubs, custom curriculum, and real-world events. Maureen Polo, head of direct-to-consumer at Hello Sunshine said: 'Young women – despite the many pressures they face – are intentionally creating space for joy, 'They're writing their own stories, setting boundaries, finding community, and embracing both digital and real-world connections on their terms. 'And yet, 75 percent say advertising rarely reflects how they actually talk, dress, or act — a clear signal that the industry still isn't truly seeing them. 'Sunnie will support and amplify these efforts, providing content, curriculum, and experiences that resonate with how they actually live their lives, not how adults assume they do.' Hello Sunshine was launched in 2016 by Reese and Sarah Harden and has produced TV series such as Big Little Lies and The Morning Show. It was acquired by Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs' Candle Media in 2021, according to the publication.

Purdue University and Hello Sunshine partner on new platform to inspire the next generation of bold, curious young women
Sunnie will work to foster community among Gen Z girls, empowering them to envision bright futures – including careers in STEM WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Purdue University is the official university partner of Sunnie, a multi-platform media brand geared toward Gen Z girls and young women. The multifaceted platform was created by Hello Sunshine, a next-generation media company founded by award-winning actress, author and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon. The new platform – built by and made for Gen Z girls and women – strives to amplify female voices and empowers them to live up to their potential through storytelling across platforms, including experiential, digital content and editorial. Sunnie aims to build community among Gen Z girls and young women, emboldening them to imagine possible careers, including STEM fields. Powered by Purdue's commitment to accessibility and academic rigor in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, the university will help design curricula that not only respond to the demands of the evolving tech workforce but also engage and inspire Gen Z girls by aligning with their academic interests, personal values, and creative passions. 'Purdue and Hello Sunshine share a powerful belief that when girls can see paths forward that reflect their interests, their dreams and their potential, there's no limit to what they can imagine or achieve,' said Kelly Hiller, chief marketing officer for Purdue University. 'At a time when social media can so profoundly shape how girls see themselves and their futures, we are excited to help support a space that replaces pressure with positivity, where storytelling meets passions, like STEM, and girls are inspired to see themselves as confident, curious and capable of shaping the future.' The national brand launch of Sunnie and the Purdue partnership were announced Wednesday (June 18) at The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in Cannes, France. The festival, often described as the 'Oscars of the advertising world,' is one of the most prestigious global events in the fields of advertising, marketing, communications and creative media. 'Gen Z isn't waiting for permission — they're boldly shaping culture, community, and conversation in ways that are deeply intentional and inspiring,' said Maureen Polo, Head of Direct to Consumer at Hello Sunshine. 'That's why we're so excited to partner with Purdue University as the official University partner of Sunnie. Their team has been instrumental in helping launch this exciting venture for Hello Sunshine. Purdue's commitment to research, innovation, and student empowerment aligns perfectly with our mission to create spaces where young women feel truly seen, heard, and supported." As part of the new collaboration, Sunnie and Purdue will co-develop custom content, engaging curriculum and online resources that will serve as a 'playbook' centered around relevant subject matters, such as the building blocks for a STEM career. In addition, Purdue will also be a part of IRL (in real life) events planned to add a deeper layer of connection and community to the initiative. The platform will also offer continuing education opportunities for caregivers of Gen Z'ers, including certification programs, through Purdue University's online programs. This partnership reinforces Purdue's national leadership in STEM by showing up in modern, culturally relevant areas and aligning directly with the university's institutional priorities to expand access, drive enrollment and cultivate the next generation of trailblazers. 'The path to innovation begins long before college,' said Lucy Flesch, Frederick L. Hovde Dean of the College of Science. 'As a scientist and an educator, I've seen how early exposure to STEM can spark ambition and agency — especially for girls who may may not yet see themselves in these fields. It's important to show them how it can connect to their passions — we unlock potential that might've otherwise gone unseen.' Amplified by Purdue's colleges of Engineering and Science, Purdue Polytechnic Institute, and the Mitch Daniels School of Business, Purdue has the largest undergraduate STEM enrollment of any top 50-ranked university in the country. 'This directly supports a five-year goal of making Purdue the most desired STEM destination for young women,' said Arvind Raman, the John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering.'Gen Z girls are growing up in a world shaped by technology, and we want them not just to keep up—but to lead.' Industry partnerships are a hallmark of excellence for Purdue University and Purdue Brand Studio, the university's in-house marketing agency, as they play a central role in advancing the university's mission of innovation, impact and intellectual leadership on a national and global scale. Recent key industry partnershipsBrand Collaborations Leveraging the momentum of Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' last November in Indianapolis, Purdue hosted 'In Our STEM Era,' an immersive event in partnership with global beauty company e.l.f. Cosmetics, that attracted over 10,000 attendees. Purdue Brand Studio produced and premiered its first-ever feature film. 'Boilers to Mars' follows the academic and professional careers of four fictional Purdue students who ultimately take part in a historic first mission to Mars. The film was supported by SpaceKids Global, an organization that aims to inspire and empower young people by introducing them to the range of careers available in space exploration and technology. In April 2024 Purdue collaborated with two globally recognized brands — the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and NASA — for the Total Solar Eclipse Viewing Event. The interactive outdoor event, held at the famed raceway, was the largest single day of earned media exposure in Purdue history. Scientific Alliances In May Eli Lilly & Company committed $250 million to an eight-year research partnership with Purdue, focusing on AI-driven drug discovery, development and manufacturing.
