The mental load refers to the cognitive and emotional load of 'holding everything together' in our day to day lives - constantly thinking ahead, managing, planning, balancing needs.

This concept names a reality of our lives. But, then what? If you want to move forward with re-balancing the mental load in your life, particularly if you're in a relationship, or you're a parent, then this episode is for you.

I explore:

- What the mental load actually demands of your brain

- How the mental load might relate to your own 'issues'

- Systems

- How to get motivated to do things differently

Also, there is a free resource you can use to work through re-balancing the mental load. It's available at www.charlottecummings.nz
