The Invisible Mental Load of Homemakers: Why It's So Heavy and How to Lighten It

Have you ever felt like your brain never switches off? From remembering dentist appointments, planning meals, keeping track of school schedules, to making sure the laundry detergent doesn't run out—it's a lot. This ongoing juggling act is what experts call the mental load, and for homemakers, it can feel overwhelming and unrelenting.

In this episode, we dive into:

• What the mental load really is (and why it goes far beyond housework).

• Why homemakers often feel like the default "family manager."

• The emotional weight of being the one who anticipates, plans, and organizes for everyone.

• Practical ways to notice, name, and begin redistributing the load.
