If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one who knows when the toilet paper’s running low, the school form is due, or the dog needs shots—you’re not imagining it. That’s the mental load. And it’s exhausting.

Join Anna and Tim for a candid conversation about the invisible labor women are carrying in homes, relationships, and parenting. They break down how this unspoken workload creates resentment, impacts intimacy, and leaves so many women burned out. You’ll leave with language, validation, and practical ideas to start shifting the dynamic.

This episode covers:

• What the mental load actually is and how it shows up daily
• Why women often carry both the “what” and the “how” of family life
• How resentment builds when invisible labor goes unacknowledged
• The connection between mental load and burnout in relationships
• Why men often don’t see the problem—and how to shift that
• How to talk about this without blame or spiraling
• Tools for redistributing the emotional and logistical weight at home

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
