Breaking the Ice

The Mental Load of Our Lifestyle with Devyn Dodero

Listen Later

Today is a solo episode with me, your host! I started to feel that roadtrip, middle of the season burn out creep in a couple of weeks ago and once I processed my emotions, I wanted to share this episode with you all.

 

In this episode I talk about:

 

  • The Mental Load of Responsibilities 
  • Stepping into the role as the primary caretaker of kids, pets, household responsibilities but also feeling the overwhelm of not being able to take a break if needed
  • Long Roadtrips Alone
  • Planning Life Around Hockey

    •  

    • The Mental Load of Traveling
    • Coordinating the Flights To/From the Season and sometimes having to travel by yourself (potentially internationally + potentially with children)
  • The end of the season overwhelm: What do we leave behind, where do we leave our stuff, what do we bring home, needing to pack suitcases, boxes and keep everything organized with less than a weeks notice, usually 
  • Long Exhausting Travel Days, twice a year

    •  

    • The Mental Load of Starting Over:
    • Making New Friends every 8 months
  • Learning a new city or country, with maybe a new language 
  • The stress of not knowing where you will live constantly 

    •  

    • What I have learned I needed in these tough moments
