93. Your Husband is like AI: Unspoken Expectations, Upbringing & “Fix-It Mode”
Episode 93
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025

Hey Doc —What if I told you your husband and AI have way more in common than you think?Not in a “men are robots” way, but in a “this explains so much about your marriage” way.In this episode, I’m breaking down the four big parallels between husbands and AI — the ones that quietly shape your communication, your expectations, and yes… your resentment. And listen, I love AI and I love husbands, so this episode is coming from a place of deep affection and deep realness.We’re talking about the stuff we all experience but rarely say out loud:The mind-reading you wish he could do (but he absolutely cannot)The unspoken expectations that turn into premeditated resentmentsHow his upbringing — just like AI training data — shapes everythingWhy he jumps straight into Fix-It Mode when you just wanted “Ugh babe, that sucks”And why you should be using (and leveraging) both AI and your husband way more than you areIf you've ever wondered “Why doesn’t he just KNOW?” or you’ve found yourself venting to him only to get a full strategic plan you didn’t ask for — this episode is for you.Share this one with another physician mom who’s ready for more clarity, less resentment, and better communication in her marriage.🎧 Go listen to the full episodeWhat did you think of the episode, doc?
