In this special Mother’s Day edition of The SkilledDad Podcast, Zach Reeser sits down with Jessica Etting—founder of the Jam Family Calendar—and his wife, Sonya, for a real conversation about something many families quietly carry: the mental load.

They unpack how the unseen weight of planning, managing, and remembering it all affects moms in particular—and what dads can do to step up and lead with intention. From shared calendars to structured routines, Jessica shares how her app helps families get organized and reduce daily stress. The episode also covers practical systems for household management, why clear communication matters more than ever, and how a little planning around the dinner table can change the whole week.

Whether you're a dad working to be more present, a mom carrying the invisible weight, or just trying to build a smoother home life—this one’s for you.
