Rest Isn’t Touching This… Or Is It?

from The Mental Load Diaries Hosted by Sherice Reid

There’s a kind of tired that sleep doesn’t fix. In this episode, we’re talking about the deeper exhaustion that comes from constantly thinking, holding, planning, and showing up for everyone—while quietly running on empty. If you’ve ever rested and still felt drained… If your mind never fully turns off… If you’re doing everything you’re “supposed to” but still feel off— this conversation is for you. This isn’t about pushing through or fixing yourself. It’s about understanding the weight you’ve been carrying… and giving yourself permission to feel it. Because you’re not lazy. You’re overloaded.
