Do you ever feel like the project manager of your home? The default parent? Or like your brain just never shuts off? That’s the mental load, and most of the time, it’s invisible.

In this episode of Supported Wife Society, I’m breaking down:

  • What the mental load really is (hint: it’s more than chores).
  • Why it stays hidden and keeps you in “roommate mode” with your husband.
  • 3 super practical ways to start fixing it this week.

I’ll share my own story of stepping into Glenn’s world as a single dad, how I ended up carrying everything without even realizing it, and why invisible labor leads to resentment, exhaustion, and lost intimacy.

By the end, you’ll know how to:
 ✨ Make the mental load visible with a simple audit.
 ✨ Hand off one recurring task without hovering or redoing.
 ✨ Use the “Pause & Pass” method to create space for him to step up.

Because here’s the truth: you don’t have to carry it all. Small changes add up to big shifts, and these three quick wins are the perfect place to start.
