How To Lighten The Invisible Mental Load of the Holidays


Listen Later

Most moms head into the holidays already carrying a full mental load and Christmas just adds fifty more tabs to your brain. You’re managing gifts, meals, school events, travel, and emotions while trying to make it all meaningful. It’s no wonder you’re exhausted before it even starts.

In this episode, we’re naming the invisible mental load of the holidays and talking about how to lighten it without dropping the joy or meaning of the season.

You’ll learn:

  • What the invisible mental load looks like for moms in December
  • Why you feel like you’re doing everything (and no one sees it)
  • How to share the load without nagging or guilt
  • Practical ways to simplify, delegate, and pre-decide what matters
  • A faith-based reminder that peace doesn’t come from doing more

If you’re already feeling the weight of the season, this episode will help you name it, share it, and finally breathe again.
