Prof. Eileen Fischer, the eminent marketing researcher at the Schulich School of Business, talks about her research into the roles that emotional work plays in creating and sustaining alternative markets. These are those local markets that offer an alternative to mass market consumer capitalism. They bring together local producers and local consumers in an effort to build community and help save the planet. If you've ever wanted to "shop local," you'll be surprised to learn how much emotional effort it takes to keep things running.

We talk about what it means to embrace "good enough," move forward, and free ourselves from perfectionism. Dr. Lark also dives into the invisible weight of emotional labor, especially the toll it takes on women and how it affects relationships, families, and our well-being.

In this personal episode, I dive deep into why burnout isn't just about what you're doing - it's about what you're energetically carrying.Drawing from my own journey through severe burnout while juggling scientific research, young children, and a challenging marriage, I share intimate insights about the hidden causes of exhaustion that most people never consider.What you'll discover:
Emotions are part of the human experience, including the workplace. New managers are often surprised by the amount of emotional labor required for the job -- managing different personalities, communication styles, and expectations. If you identify as a hero or a helper, then you may put a lot of pressure on yourself, and you might measure your success based on the emotional signals of those around you.I think it's important for managers to care about their own mental health and emotional wellbeing, too.

And you can still be amazing at your job."In this heartfelt solo episode, I get real about a part of the admin role we don't talk about enough: emotional labor. From holding space for overwhelmed coworkers to staying composed while managing total chaos, admin professionals often carry the invisible weight of everyone else's emotions — all while keeping their own in check. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Tune in as I unpack what emotional labor looks like in our world, how it shows up day after day, the toll it can quietly take, and how to start caring for yourself in the process.

When you're the one who always has it handled, the reward is often…more responsibility. In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton unpack the concept of weaponized competence (Amazon Affiliate)—how being highly capable as a first responder (and at home) can quietly lead to burnout, resentment, and imbalance in your relationships.
Arlie Hochschild (1940 - present) is an American sociologist known for her coining of the term “Emotional Labor.” In her 1983 book The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling, she first coined the term "emotional labor" to describe the process in which workers manage their emotions to fulfill the emotional requirements of their jobs. She also coined terms like “deep story” and the “pride paradox” in her books about what motivates right wing voters. She continues to write and research to this day.

If you're feeling fatigue, burnout, or just not like yourself lately… this might be why: you're leaking energy. In this solo episode, I'm diving into the three biggest energy drains I've experienced—and what might be draining you without even realizing it. From old friendships that no longer align, to overcommitting from fear of missing out, to the mental loops of comparison and perfectionism… these leaks add up. I'll show you how to spot where your energy is going (and why it's not coming back), how lower motivation and self-control often start with these hidden drains, and how certain interactions—even with people we care about—can fatigue us more than we know. In this episode: Why even "productive thoughts" like perfectionism tank your nervous system The 3 biggest energy leaks: people, patterns, and mindset Why your lack of motivation might actually be leaking energy, not lack of discipline What emotional labor and “attention residue” have to do with your burnout This isn't about cutting people off or hustling harder. It's about alignment. Energy alignment. Because when you plug those leaks, everything flows better—creativity, rest, even joy. 00:45 — Energy Leaks: What They Are & Why They Matter 02:00 — When People Drain You: Emotional Labor & Boundaries 08:10 — The Hidden Cost of Overcommitting and Multitasking 10:30 — Mindset Leaks: Perfectionism, Comparison & Burnout 18:50 — How to Audit & Plug Your Biggest Energy Drains LISTEN TO NEXT: Reparenting Yourself ( ep 287)

The masculinity conversation continues! Whip smart researcher, journalist, and the author of Emotional Labor: The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Reclaim Our Power, is back on the pod to talk about her upcoming book, Men Too: How a Myth of Male Victimhood Ushered in a New Era of Extremism, and How to Liberate Ourselves From It.This one's for all the cyclebreaking mamas raising sons, partnered with men — or just navigating what it means to mother in a culture still tangled in old scripts.We talk about the invisible weight women carry in relationships — not just the logistics, but the emotional tracking, the repair, the soothing. The labor that goes unnamed and unshared.We explore how boys are often raised inside a narrow box of masculinity that teaches them to disconnect from their feelings, and how that disconnection has real consequences for their relationships — and their inner lives.We name the reality that so many of our kids are growing up in a world that is digitally overstimulated and relationally undernourished — and how that's affecting emotional development.And we ground the whole conversation in hope: that change doesn't require perfection, just connection. That our softness is not weakness. That vulnerability is the beginning of healing — and that you modeling this work, even imperfectly, matters.You are not just raising children. You're shifting culture.Big love,AnnYou can connect with Rose Hackman and her incredible work and insights at @rosehackwoman on Instagram and her book Emotional Labor; The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Reclaim Our Power can be purchased anywhere books are sold!
Across North American cafés, workers juggle espresso machines and emotional labor: remembering names, performing cheer, even handwriting pep talks on cups. Some customers cherish the human touch; others wonder—when does 'service with a smile' become unpaid emotional work? The invisible effort of keeping moods light and interactions pleasant often falls disproportionately on service staff. As we rethink fair compensation, perhaps it's time to ask: Should emotional labor come with a paycheck too? On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Yushun
Keith and Mike examine the nuances of modern dating with the clinical detachment of two men who've spent far too much time on dating apps. They begin by dissecting the increasingly common expectation for men to send daily "good morning" texts, a phenomenon Keith describes as both psychologically revealing and extremely stupid. Mike proposes outsourcing these texts to offshore call centers or an AI assistant, both of which he suspects would outperform the average man. The segment concludes with a meditation on communication as performance versus communication as evidence of actual affection. The conversation then drifts, as it often does, into a granular exploration of sexual technique, including thrusting strategies, vocal coaching, and the sociocultural ramifications of vigorous fingering. Keith offers a brief anatomical aside on the bone structure of mammalian penises, which is less of a non sequitur than it sounds. Mike draws a comparison between poorly instructed fingering and receiving directions like “touch me like a grapefruit,” which somehow makes sense in context. There is also a serious discussion of how women might coach men toward more satisfying encounters, though no conclusive solution is reached. From there, the hosts turn their attention to the challenges facing women in their mid-30s who are trying to find a long-term partner before their fertility window closes. Keith outlines a strategy he calls "industrialized dating," inspired by a friend who scheduled more than ten first dates per week and maintained a spreadsheet to keep track. Mike compares this to the scheduling practices of professional sex workers, which is meant as a compliment. They explore whether delaying sex can effectively filter out unserious suitors, or if it merely selects for the most patient ones. Finally, the hosts circle back to the central dilemma: how can women efficiently vet potential husbands without becoming either emotionally drained or what Mike refers to as "a sex worker for free." Various strategies are proposed, including cryptic date-countdown policies and ambiguous sexual timelines designed to disorient men just enough to reveal their true intentions. Keith recommends maximizing throughput. Twitter: @ymmvpod Facebook: ymmvpod Email: ymmvpod@gmail.com

If you've ever felt stuck in traditional roles or unsure how to create an equitable, empowered relationship, this conversation is your starting point.Topics include:Why vulnerability is a strength, not a weaknessThe unseen cost of the patriarchy for men and womenWhy men must lead in dismantling toxic normsThe blame-shame loop in relationshipsHow to start building emotional safety and communityTakeaway:It's not about blame—it's about responsibility.

This episode was originally published on May 5th, 2018. Remembering the grocery list, coordinating with the babysitter, making food for the potluck, scheduling a get-together with the in-laws: These are some of the invisible tasks that (most) women exclusively do in their romantic relationships — and the list goes on and on. Like a modern-day Greek chorus, women from across the country wrote in to the Dear Sugars inbox echoing identical inequalities in their relationships with their husbands and boyfriends. The Sugars commiserate with this aggrieved chorus along with Gemma Hartley, the writer who set off a national conversation about emotional labor with her viral article in Harper's Bazaar, “Women Aren't Nags — We're Just Fed Up.” Broaching the subject of emotional labor with a romantic partner can be tricky, especially if he feels as if he's being blamed for the imbalance of labor. The imbalance in Ms. Hartley's marriage began righting itself when she and her husband shifted their perspective: “This is not a problem with you and it's not a problem with me. It's a cultural problem. We have to unlearn a lot of things together in order to move forward." The Sugars Recommend “I Stand Here Ironing,” by Tillie Olsen “The Yellow Wallpaper,” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Do you ever feel like your time and energy are stretched too thin? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy kicks off a limited series on what it truly means to be a well-resourced woman. She explores the unique challenges women in leadership face—especially the pressure to juggle it all. From running a business to managing personal responsibilities, cultural expectations often lead women to overcommit, leaving them drained and overwhelmed. But what if there were a better way? Kris introduces a powerful exercise to help listeners assess how they spend their time. By categorizing tasks into love and loathe, women can gain clarity on where their energy goes—and, more importantly, where it should go. She challenges listeners to delegate tasks that don't align with their strengths and invest in support that allows them to focus on high-impact activities. Kris gets real about the importance of time management: "A woman who is abundant in her time as a resource is a cycle breaker." Stepping into a well-resourced life isn't just about personal well-being—it's about creating the space to lead, innovate, and make a bigger impact. When women reclaim their time, they don't just transform their own lives—they drive meaningful change in their businesses, industries, and communities. If you're ready to break free from the cycle of overcommitment and start managing your time with intention, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways From This Episode Core Relationships Women Must Develop: Key relationships women must nurture across the primary elements of their lives. Time as a Resource: How societal and cultural expectations shape women's relationship with their time commitments. Expectations and Family Structure: Examining the challenges that arise when entrepreneurial goals intersect with familial responsibilities.

Keith and Mike mark their 200th episode today. They begin by reflecting on the accuracy of milestone counting and segue into a discussion about Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, and the fallibility of supposedly sacred sports statistics. Keith expresses suspicion that his own episode count spreadsheet may contain hidden corruption, though Mike assures him the podcast network's data file would make such an error unlikely. The moment is appropriately celebrated with a shared sense of modest self-congratulation and implied service to humanity. The conversation moves into a deeper analysis of male sexual psychology, sparked by a text from a woman who suggests that sex with a man often ends the pursuit. Keith and Mike consider the implications of novelty, companionship, and emotional labor in relationships, with Mike drawing an analogy to deer hunting and Keith delicately suggesting that some women might simply not be compelling. The two debate whether orgasm consistency and emotional intelligence can prolong male interest beyond the novelty window. Mike proposes a theory of dual peaks of male arousal: initial sex and the first time the woman has a believable orgasm, though Keith is skeptical most men track such things. Later, the hosts discuss the cultural expectations placed on men in relationships, particularly the tension between emotional availability and sexual access. Keith outlines a behavioral pattern where men tolerate emotional excess in exchange for continued sexual opportunity, and questions whether women might strategically suppress their natural behaviors to avoid being broken up with. Mike suggests that all women have some amount of emotional nonsense, and if they don't show it, it's because they've hidden it. Keith, for his part, seems to welcome the deception so long as it's convincingly executed. The episode concludes with a discussion of whether someone should sleep with a terminally ill, married former acquaintance. The hosts dissect the ethical, emotional, and practical implications of this decision, including the possibility that the illness is a ruse, the risks of posthumous heartbreak, and the general undesirability of sex with someone undergoing chemotherapy. They offer their standard dry pragmatism and qualify moral concerns with sufficient caveats to suit most worldviews. Twitter: @ymmvpod Facebook: ymmvpod Email: ymmvpod@gmail.com

Our bodies store it.In this episode, we're breaking down why moms hold more stress than anyone else, how that stress physically manifests (hello, tight shoulders, anxiety, and exhaustion), and, most importantly, how to start offloading it before it takes a bigger toll on your health and well-being.You'll Learn:
In the latest episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, hosts Joel Cheesman and Chad Sowash dive into a mix of serious industry shifts and quirky tangents. They unpack Indeed's traffic decline—down due to a 10% drop in job postings and competition from platforms like LinkedIn—while noting its erratic market moves and a pivot to online courses that's missing the mark with tech candidates. History lesson alert! The duo traces job search evolution from simple boards to AI-driven tools, spotlighting generative AI's potential to revolutionize applications despite hurdles like registration barriers. Then it's a spirited battle of Who'd Ya' Rather? pitting Jolly against Lumber for who's the sexier option when it's 2 a.m. at the local watering hole. The boys actually disagree on this one, so be sure to check it out.

What is "emotional labor," and why is it probably not what your boyfriend accuses you of making him do when you want him to go to Ikea with you? Psychotherapist Ash Compton and journalist Rachel Monroe are here to tell the tale of how the term sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild coined—in her 1983 book The Managed Heart—has come to mean, well, almost everything. How is the term still useful? How can we use therapy language as a tool for growth or an excuse for avoiding it? And whose job is it to do these dishes?

Did you know the invisible work that keeps our personal and professional lives running smoothly may also affect our health? We're diving into a topic that impacts every relationship, workplace, and home—emotional labor— and yet it often goes unnoticed, undervalued, and uncompensated. We're joined by Rose Hackman, journalist and author of Emotional Labor: The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Claim Our Power. Together, we explore the deep-rooted societal expectations around emotional labor and how gender dynamics play a crucial role in who carries this burden. Spoiler alert: women are doing the bulk of it, and it's taking a toll. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What emotional labor is and why it's essential for a functioning society ✅ How gender roles shape expectations around caregiving, kindness, and emotional intelligence ✅ The economic impact of emotional labor and why it should be compensated ✅ The role of emotional labor in relationships, workplaces, and healthcare settings ✅ Strategies to redistribute emotional labor fairly and recognize its value We also dive into the idea that men can (and should) engage more in emotional labor—not just for fairness, but for their own well-being. In a world where connection and belonging are crucial for mental health, developing emotional intelligence is a survival skill, not just a ‘nice-to-have.' Why This Conversation Matters: If you've ever felt exhausted from constantly managing other people's emotions, anticipating needs, or smoothing over conflicts—this episode is for you. We uncover the gender stress gap, discuss why married women are often the most stressed demographic, and share practical ways to set boundaries around emotional labor without damaging relationships. And hey, we even bring it back to health (because, you know, Your Doctor Friends). The stress from invisible labor can have profound effects on our well-being, impacting everything from mental health to physical health. Recognizing and addressing emotional labor is a powerful way to reclaim energy, reduce stress, and build healthier relationships. Actionable Takeaways:
Are you constantly the one absorbing other people's emotions, managing their moods, and keeping the peace—at the expense of your own well-being? That's emotional labor, and it's draining you more than you realize. In this episode, we're breaking down: What emotional labor really is (and why most people don't even recognize they're doing it). The hidden toll it takes on your mental, emotional, and even physical health. Why people-pleasers and empaths are especially vulnerable to this exhausting cycle. How to set boundaries without guilt and reclaim your energy without feeling like a bad person. If you've ever felt responsible for managing everyone else's feelings while neglecting your own, this episode is your wake-up call. It's time to stop carrying burdens that were never yours to hold.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton delve into a crucial yet often overlooked topic: the emotional labor carried by spouses in first responder households. Emotional labor (Amazon Affiliate) refers to the unseen, unspoken responsibilities of managing emotions, household dynamics, and family well-being. For spouses of first responders, this load often feels heavier due to the unique demands of the job. You'll learn what emotional labor is, how it manifests in first responder families, and five practical strategies to balance responsibilities and support one another more effectively. What is Emotional Labor in First Responder Families? Understand how emotional labor includes tasks like managing household schedules, providing emotional support, and ensuring family stability, often while navigating the unpredictability of a first responder's career. Five Practical Ways to Combat the Silent Load: 1. Share Responsibilities Proactively: Example: Sit down weekly to discuss household tasks and decide who will handle specific responsibilities, such as meal planning or managing children's schedules. Why It's Beneficial: Creates a sense of teamwork and prevents one partner from feeling overwhelmed. 2. Acknowledge the Emotional Toll: Example: Verbally recognize the effort your spouse puts into maintaining the emotional and logistical balance in the household. Why It's Beneficial: Validation fosters appreciation and reduces feelings of being taken for granted. 3. Implement a “Check-In” Routine: Example: Set aside 10-15 minutes daily or weekly to check in on each other's emotional well-being and workload. Why It's Beneficial: Encourages open communication and helps both partners feel heard and supported. 4. Utilize Technology for Household Management: Example: Use apps like shared calendars, grocery lists, or task trackers to streamline responsibilities and reduce mental clutter. Why It's Beneficial: Lightens the organizational load and makes it easier to coordinate tasks. 5. Establish Clear Boundaries Between Work and Home Life: Example: Agree on specific times or zones in the home that are dedicated to family time, free of work-related distractions. Why It's Beneficial: Protects the family's emotional space and ensures moments of genuine connection. How Emotional Labor Impacts Mental Health and Relationships: Learn why unbalanced emotional labor can lead to burnout, resentment, and misunderstandings, and how to address these issues constructively. The Role of Communication in Sharing the Load: Discover how honest conversations about needs and expectations can prevent assumptions and create a healthier dynamic. Steps to Foster Mutual Support in First Responder Families: Explore how small shifts in mindset and behavior can create a more equitable and supportive partnership. Why This Matters: Emotional labor is often invisible, but its impact on relationships and family dynamics is undeniable. For first responder families, addressing and balancing this load is critical to maintaining a strong, healthy partnership. By sharing responsibilities and fostering open communication, you can create a supportive environment where both partners feel valued and empowered.
