Invisible Weight: The Mental Load of Motherhood

This episode explains the "mental load" mothers bear—the nonstop, invisible thinking, planning and anticipating that leaves many feeling exhausted despite outwardly keeping things together. The host describes how this background labor leads to high-functioning burnout and offers concrete steps: name the load, slow constant mental scanning, share responsibilities, and practice nervous-system resets. Listeners are introduced to a follow-through method and a practical workbook to help unload, reset, and prioritize self-care so they can better show up for themselves and their families.
