#95: Why Moms Feel Resentful: The Invisible Load Explained
In this episode, we cover:
What maternal resentment actually is (and why it’s more common than you think)
The “invisible load” and how it impacts mental and emotional health
Why resentment is often a nervous system response to chronic overload
How unspoken expectations contribute to burnout
The difference between loving your family and feeling overwhelmed by responsibility
Practical ways to make the invisible load visible
How receiving help can feel uncomfortable — and why it matters
