The Invisible Work of Feeding a Family [The Mental Load]


Listen Later

Ever feel like feeding your family is a full-time job no one sees?
In this episode, I’m unpacking the mental load behind feeding kids—especially picky eaters—and how much of your day is consumed by invisible decisions before anyone even sits down to eat. From meal planning, grocery runs, and anticipating meltdowns, to managing emotions (yours and theirs), it’s a lot.
I’m breaking down why this load feels so heavy, why no one talks about it, and how to stop feeling like you’re doing it all wrong. This one’s part validation, part reality check, and full of “OMG yes” moments you’ll want to send to your mom friends immediately.

Plus, I’ll tease what’s coming next week—real story times from feeding my own kids, with the mental play-by-play of what I’m thinking and doing in real time.

 If you’ve ever wondered why you’re so tired after dinner—this episode is for you.
