Motherhood is exhausting. Bone deep, soul-draining exhausting. For generations a mother’s worth was measured by her ability to sacrifice herself, to push through without complaint and to wear exhaustion like a badge of honour, but this model leaves women depleted, disconnected and invisible.

In this raw and real episode Lyss unpacks the invisible mental load, the cultural pressure to “do it all" and the dynamics of masculine and feminine support in parenting. She shares her postpartum journey, the daily reality of carrying both the visible and invisible weight and offers a powerful reframe to help you change how you view generations of mothers and your own dynamic as a mother.

You’ll hear:
✨ Why exhaustion is not proof that you’re a good mother
✨ How the mental load silently drains women
✨ The difference between sacrifice and devotion
✨ Practical tools for communicating needs with your partner (including Lyss & Geronimo’s “Capacity” practice)
✨ Why men in this generation struggle to step fully into fatherhood AND how that can change

This episode is an invitation to release the outdated story of burnout as love, and to reclaim motherhood as devotion, presence, and sustainable strength.
