Do you ever feel like you have a CNN line ticker constantly moving across the bottom of your brain listing all the things you have to keep track of from whether you've run out of toilet paper, to order the soccer uniform, to making dinner, to exercising etc.? This is your mental load. Studies show that women carry significantly more of the mental load around home life than men do. In reaction to this, many women feel frustrated and expect men to "do their share." But what I've seen in my coaching is that this actually discourages both partners to blame the other partner and expect them to suddenly do what their partner does. I see it create frustration and disconnection in marriages. I created a podcast to share some ways to navigate mental load without sabotaging your marriage--in fact, it can bring you closer together.
