S4, E2: Being Busy, Grinding Harder and The Female Mental Load


Listen Later

Ever get the feeling life has become one long, stress-filled “to do” list?

Struggling to live up to your values amidst the grind hard culture? Too consumed by guilt to administer any

form of self care?

Sadly, this is a far too familiar story for us not to devote

an episode to the scourge that is…being TOO DAMN BUSY!


The way we are living our collective modern lives is causing us physical and mental ill health, damaging

our relationships and ultimately diminishing our happiness....


But hardly a surprise when we live in a society that glorifies burnout and where stress is worn like a badge of honour. The implicit message is that, if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we must not be doing enough!


But at what cost does this come and are we simply becoming our own worse enemies in the pursuit of

perfection? In this week’s Pod, we reflect on the challenges we all face in achieving any form of balance in our lives while juggling so many conflicting demands.


From fear of judgement to the dangers of comparisons, the impact of the female mental load and rediscovering what brings you joy, we discuss it all!

We also give our recommendations for tools you can utilise to start shifting the balance.
