Ever feel like you're the one keeping track of everything—appointments, grocery lists, school events, and that one sock no one can seem to find? In this episode, I sat down with maternal mental health expert, Stephanie Landrum, to talk about the mental load—the often invisible, exhausting responsibility of managing a household and family life. We’ll explore why this burden tends to fall unevenly, how it impacts mental health, and most importantly, what we can do about it. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or looking for ways to redistribute the load, this conversation is for you.
