The Mental Load of Motherhood: Why You’re Exhausted Before the Day Even Starts (and How to Lighten It)
You wake up already tired. Not just from lack of sleep - but because your brain has been running nonstop since before your feet even hit the floor. That, my friend, is the mental load of motherhood.
In this episode of Not Defined By Motherhood – The Podcast, we’re talking about the invisible labor that weighs moms down. You’ll hear real-life examples of what the mental load looks like, why no one else seems to notice it, and the cost it takes on your body, your relationships, and your identity. Most importantly, I’ll give you practical ways to start lightening the load without losing control.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about freeing your brain so you can finally breathe.
