Episode 33: Mental Load: Feel More Joy & Drop The Invisible Weight

Ladies, it's time to ditch the Superwoman cape! Who says you have to be the holiday magic-maker while juggling life like a circus act? In this episode, Hilary Silver pulls back the curtain on the mental load—the invisible, never-ending to-do list that's got you running the household 24/7. And let's be real, the holidays just crank up the chaos. Hilary reveals the truth about why we end up stuck in this exhausting role and how to step back without the guilt trip. With her no-nonsense advice and a wink of tough love, she's here to help you share the load, kick perfectionism to the curb, and finally enjoy that spiked eggnog this season.

Episode Highlights:

Hilary dishes on how the planning, remembering, and constant "Wait, did I forget something?" is stealing your peace.

Enough is enough! It’s time to stop being the default manager of everything. Hilary will guide you on how to resign as household CEO without the drama or side-eye.

Hilary’s four-step freedom plan: from rallying the troops at a family meeting to letting others take over (even if it's not done your way), she's making shared responsibilities a reality.

Perfect is so last season! Hilary reveals why embracing "good enough" is the secret to a joyful, stress-free holiday season. Prioritize your own joy and accept that done is better than perfect.
