296. She Carries It All: The Invisible Mental & Emotional Load (And How to Finally Set It Down)


Listen Later

Ever feel like your brain has a thousand tabs open—and you're the only one who knows they're running?

In this heartfelt and relatable episode, Dr. Edie and Emmy dive deep into the mental and emotional “invisible load” that so many women carry every single day. From wedding planning stress to mom-life multitasking, they unpack the quiet weight of remembering everything, managing everyone’s emotions, and trying to do it all…often without even realizing it.

You’ll laugh, nod your head, and maybe even tear up as they share:

  • How this invisible load shows up in everyday life (and why it’s so exhausting)

  • Simple practices to get what’s in your head out—so it stops stealing your peace

  • How to delegate, decide with intention, and release what doesn’t belong to you

  • Why journaling and brain dumps are actual lifesavers

  • What it means to carry your life with capacity and joy—not resentment

    This episode is an invitation to acknowledge what’s heavy, ask for help, and walk through your week a little lighter—on purpose.

    📝 Plus: They share favorite summer finds, a few joyful tangents (hi, Walmart dresses + 30A recs!), and why a 5-minute task might be stealing all your energy.

    You don’t have to carry it all. Let this episode be your reminder.
