Ep. 21 Are you exhausted? How to deal with the mental load with Shlomit Tassa
Embodied Forces Waitlist
Mental Load Mini-Course
Shlomit Tassa was a corporate manager with frequent flyer status and an expense account. It was fun and exciting at first. But with 3 kids and aging parents added over time, it became overwhelming and exhausting. Following her own burnout experience, Shlomit now coaches ambitious women on how to avoid or recover from overwhelm and chronic stress. She now juggles work, eye rolling teens, and being her dad's primary caregiver, together with some aerial yoga and museums. Some days can still be a stretch, but life is no longer overwhelming. She'd love to help you do the same!
Today we speak about mental load, especially for us moms. This isn’t about all the labor we do. It’s the cognitive labor. Shlomit points out this can be insidious. It sneaks into our lives without us even noticing. And suddenly we find ourselves completely overwhelmed. She shares four defining phases of mental load from researcher Alison Daminger.
Metal load never goes away it can create a lot of resentment. It’s important that we talk about it. But first we must think about what it is that we even want. Do we want a team member to perform what you need done? Or do you want someone else to share the load of CEO of said household.
It’s too easy to focus on blaming and expressing resentment but we must and Shlomit shares some excellent tools to communicate with our partner about this mental load in an effective way.
