The Invisible Load: How Unpaid Labor is Destroying Womens Marriages and Lives with Paige Connell


Listen Later

Women are burning out at alarming rates, and it's not just from their careers, but from the constant invisible labor required to run a household and raise children. From managing schedules to remembering the little things no one else notices, the mental load can feel crushing.

Paige Connell, a content creator and advocate for women's equity, breaks down the unseen burden of unpaid labor and how it's quietly wrecking marriages and damaging women's mental health.

Join us to hear about:

  • What the mental load really is and why it's not the same as household chores.
  • The difference between "helping" and true partnership in a marriage.
  • Why women's time is treated as endless, but men's time is protected.
  • How the division of labor impacts women's mental health, confidence, and relationships.
  • Why "just tell me what to do" is not the solution men think it is.

The mental and invisible loads aren't just frustrating... they're ruining relationships. Paige shares practical insights on how to make this work visible, have productive conversations, and create a more equitable partnership.

Key takeaways:

  • A running to-do list in your head is still labor, even if no one sees it.
  • "Helping out" at home isn't enough—it should be shared responsibility.
  • Women shouldn't have to manage their partners like an employee.
  • Resentment builds over time and without change, it can break a marriage.

Paige's advocacy for affordable childcare, paid leave, and gender equity has sparked national conversations.
