The to-do list in your head never ends. The appointments to book, the meals to plan, the emotions to manage—so much of the work we do as mothers (and caregivers) is invisible. And yet, it’s exhausting.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what the mental load is, why it often falls on mothers (but not always), and the impact it has on our well-being. We’ll also explore practical ways to lighten the burden and why shifting this load isn’t just about personal choices—it’s about changing expectations in our homes, relationships, and communities.
