Ep. 25 - The Invisible Load, the Mental Laundry List & Letting Go

This week, we’re diving into everything that is the invisible load, what it actually looks like, and why it impacts women in particular. We talk about how it affects our ability to prioritize our own needs, especially when it comes to health and wellness.We explore the many layers that make up the invisible load, from the realities of modern parenting, emotional and financial stress, being older moms, and navigating life while caring for both aging parents and young children, to the very real disappearance of community and familial support.Carmie and Dal get real about their own experiences with the invisible load, past and present, and how they’ve learned to navigate and manage personal and family responsibilities without completely burning themselves out.Those constant voices in your head, the never-ending mental laundry list of things to do, it’s real and it’s a lot. And while we can’t always eliminate it, we can choose how we respond to it.We talk about embracing flexibility and imperfection, letting go of unrealistic expectations, releasing self-imposed pressure, and redefining what “enough” actually looks like in this season of life.As always, there are plenty of laughs along the way, because sometimes you just have to laugh so you don’t cry Connect with Carmie on IG @carmhawk_getsfitConnect with Dal on IG @nutritioncoachingbydal
