This Labor Day on the Play Big Queen Podcast, Kate Bailey is not talking about barbecues or mattress sales. She is talking about you... the woman carrying the hidden, unpaid, and unacknowledged labor that keeps everything running. Especially if you are neurodivergent or living with an invisible disability or mental health challenge, you know the exhaustion of over-functioning, masking, and giving more than anyone sees.
In this episode, you’ll uncover the six forms of invisible labor you may be holding: emotional, cognitive, workplace, masking, advocacy, and care. You’ll learn how to run a Labor Audit to finally name the work that is draining you, and how to set boundaries that return energy, time, and brilliance back to you.
This is not about doing more. It’s about reclaiming your sovereignty, your creativity, and your leadership. Labor Day began with workers saying enough is enough and now it’s your turn.
You will learn how to conduct a Labor Audit to notice, name, and value the work you carry, and how to set boundaries that reclaim energy, brilliance, and sovereignty. With somatic practices and embodied reminders woven throughout, this episode is both an education and an activation. Listen to get the reset you need to stop over-giving, start reclaiming, and step into leadership with clarity and power.
