Today, I’m talking about something every working mom knows too well: the mental load. You know—that invisible checklist running nonstop in your brain? After a full month of birthdays, family visits, and a DIY deck project (yes, really), I found myself wide awake at 5am, completely overwhelmed. So I decided to record an episode about it. I’m breaking down what the mental load really is, the 3 biggest lies we believe about it, and the exact 4-step process I teach my clients to finally feel some breathing room again. If your brain feels like it has 47 open tabs and no off switch—this one’s for you. 

Topics in this episode:

• What the mental load actually is (and why it’s more than just to-dos) 
• Why common solutions (like quitting your job) won’t fix it 
• 3 myths that keep working moms stuck in overwhelm 
• The exact 4-step process I teach clients to manage the mental load 
• How managing your thoughts gives you your time and joy back
