8. The Invisible Workload of Women

This week Patti and Meghan are talking about the real mental and emotional load that women carry every single day: from remembering every dentist appointment and lost sock to being the only one who can replace the toilet paper roll. They're digging into the invisible labor that keeps families, businesses, and lives running, and how it quietly drains us until one day we're hurling canned goods out the car window or rage-cleaning the kitchen with a tequila in hand. Expect laughs, honesty, and a few too-real confessions (looking at you, unflushed toilets and Spirit Week costumes). In this episode: Why moms carry 100 open "tabs" in their brains at all times The resentment that sneaks in when no one else notices the invisible work How multitasking shows up as burnout (and sometimes rage) The emotional weight of "if I don't do it, no one will" What we've stopped caring about (and why that's healthy) The power of a good laugh, a housekeeper, and tequila therapy Our idea for a "We Survived Spirit Week" mom night out 🍸 Tell us what you're quitting this year!
