In this episode of Collectively Unhinged: Therapy Talk, we explore why so many people feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with everyday life — especially when even taking care of yourself starts to feel like another task on an endless to-do list.

We break down the mental load of modern life, including work responsibilities, parenting, relationships, kids’ activities, schedules, meals, health goals, movement, hygiene, emotional regulation, and the constant pressure to “optimize” yourself. We also discuss how burnout, nervous system overload, invisible labor, and productivity culture can make basic self-care feel emotionally draining instead of supportive.

If you’ve ever felt like your brain never fully shuts off, struggled to keep up with everything you’re “supposed” to do, or wondered why rest doesn’t even feel restful anymore, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• Mental load and invisible labor
• Why self-care can start feeling like another chore
• Burnout and nervous system overwhelm
• Parenting exhaustion and schedule overload
• Productivity culture and self-optimization
• Why people feel constantly behind and emotionally exhausted

🎙️ Hosted by therapists from Strong Mind Mental Health.
