Have you ever been overwhelmed by your mental to-do list? Do you often find yourself stressing over invisible expectations? In this episode, we discuss managing the burdens you can't actually see, the ones that are often work without the pay. Additionally, we brainstorm how gender can play a role, we explore "errand paralysis" and we discuss tactics that might just help dump some of that mental "poop". Enter, mental load.
Recommendations:
