The Mental Load is Heavy, Babe

In this episode of The Millennial Matriarch, Alexis and Ashlie unpack the invisible to-do list we’re all apparently carrying in our heads — a.k.a. the mental load — and why women somehow became the unpaid project managers of literally everything. From relationships and workplaces to family dynamics and childhood conditioning, they dig into how emotional labor sneaks onto our plates and overstays its welcome. With sharp takes, personal confessions, and a few cultural side-eyes, they talk communication, boundaries, shared responsibility, and how to stop running your life like a one-woman operations team. If you’ve ever felt exhausted before noon for reasons you can’t quite explain… this one’s for you.
