The Mental Load
The mental load - it’s that constant, invisible juggling act of thinking, planning, and managing that keeps life running smoothly, yet it often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. In this episode, I dive into what the mental load really is, why it matters, and how it can take a toll on our well-being, especially for those of us trying to balance it all.
I share my own experience of running a household while managing multiple businesses, and the relentless stream of decisions and responsibilities that come with it. From remembering the shopping list to scheduling appointments and ensuring everyone’s needs are met, it’s a full-time job in itself.
I also tackle the tricky topic of the unequal distribution of mental load in relationships. I discuss why it’s essential to address this imbalance and how setting boundaries, prioritising self-care, and having honest conversations can make a world of difference.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of the world in your mind, this episode will resonate with you. Let’s unpack the mental load, explore ways to lighten it, and remind ourselves that no one can do it all.
