You’re not lazy. You’re not ungrateful. You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re carrying the postpartum mental load—and it’s invisible, exhausting, and absolutely real.
In this episode, we’re naming the weight moms carry that no one talks about: the never-ending mental tabs, emotional labor, planning, anticipating, and managing that comes with having a baby.
It’s not just about diaper changes and healing—it’s the invisible load that follows you everywhere.
We’ll break down:
•What the postpartum mental load actually is
•Why it hits so hard and so fast
•How it’s quietly messing with your mood, energy, and identity
•Practical ways to share the load and reclaim your capacity
This conversation is raw, honest, and just the beginning—my postpartum book is coming soon, and this topic? It’s at the heart of it.
