Carrying the Mental Load, Why It's Exhausting For Mothers and What You Can Do About It!

In this weeks episode of 'Holding Space for Her', I deep dive into something that is often invisible but can be an incredible burden on us mothers. It's the mental load. From remembering appointments, managing household tasks and the emotional labour for our family, the mental load can take a serious toll on us. This constant juggling can easily contribute to us mothers feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and even postpartum depression and anxiety if you are a new mother.I talk about my own experiences with carrying all of this, and some strategies on how to lighten the load and help get your energy back! Whether you're navigating the early days of parenting or deep into motherhood already, this episode is a must listen for any overwhelmed mum who is just trying to survive.Learn more about Rita Pietrosanto www.ritapietrosanto.comFollow us on socialsInstagram - @rita_pietrosanto Facebook - @Rita PietrosantoIf you would like to ask a question and have it answered and featured in our 'Mama Unscripted' segment on Holding Space For Her, please send me an email and ask me anything - remember no topic is taboo or off limits!
