Podcasts about mental load

In today's roundtable discussion, we're exploring some of the most important topics for any working mom, including identity, the mental load, and the emotional weight we carry. We're joined by Allison McQuaid, a licensed therapist and founder of Tree House Therapy, who supports moms through every stage of motherhood, as well as Paige Connell, a mom of four and creator of She is a Paige Turner, whose viral content about the mental load and equity in motherhood has reached millions. The four of us are diving deep into what it really looks like for overwhelmed millennial moms to carry the mental and emotional burden at home and beyond, and what it takes to reclaim your joy, energy, and time, especially as we head into the holiday season.  If you've ever looked around your life and wondered why you're the one who has to juggle everything, this episode is for you.   Show links: Ashley: And/Both Podcast Paige Connell: sheisapaigeturner.com Allison McQuaid: treehousetherapyllc.com   As always, I'd love to hear from you!

November Roundtable: The Holiday Overwhelm Episode with Paige Connell & Allie McQuaidThe holidays are supposed to feel warm and joyful- but for most moms, they also come with nonstop logistics, emotional labor, and a running mental checklist that never really turns off. And for millennial moms especially, the expectations feel higher than ever.In this month's roundtable, Erin Holland (PG-ish Podcast) and I are joined by Paige Connell (@sheisapageturner) and Allie McQuaid (@millennialmomtherapist) for a conversation that goes right into the thick of it: the mental load, the pressure to make things magical, the generational friction that shows up the minute you walk into a family gathering, and the complicated mix of joy and burnout that this season brings.In this episode we cover:Why the holidays hit so hard when your plate was already full in JulyThe “fun mom” pressure and why it doesn't make sense, when you're the one noticing, planning, packing, and rememberingHow early messaging around anger and emotions shows up again in motherhoodThe emotional gymnastics of blended families, divorced parenting, and juggling multiple householdsWhy social media intensifies holiday expectations (and how to spot what's actual life vs. content creation)What our kids really remember and why it's almost never the expensive or elaborate stuffHow to rethink traditions, drop the “shoulds,” and pay attention to what actually brings joy or easeThe permission to let this year look different than last year (or any year)It's honest, relatable, a little funny, and full of the kind of “oh right, it's not just me” moments that make the holidays feel a little more doable.Listen in, especially if the season feels like a lot before it's even started.Connect with Paige and Allie:Paige Connell — @sheisapageturnerAllie McQuaid — @millennialmomtherapistConnect with Ashley:Website: https://www.ashleyblackington.comPodcast website: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/Dovetail® App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dovetail-app/id6744341822Instagram: @mydovetail.appLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyblackington/

Mental Load, Elternstress, Still-Sorgen und der ganz große Weihnachtswahnsinn – willkommen in der Folge, in der jede müde Muddi einmal tief seufzt und denkt: „Jap. Genau so läuft's bei uns auch.“ Alina landet nach einem völlig eskalierten Richtfest irgendwo zwischen Burnout-Gefühl, Baby-Gewichtsangst und „Warum esse ich eigentlich nur Lebkuchen?“ Fanny versucht parallel, Wunschzettel, Beziehungskram, Schlafmangel und ihren eigenen Nervenkollaps irgendwie zusammenzukleben – mit Glitzer, Humor und Real Talk aus dem Mamaalltag. Wir reden darüber, warum Babies plötzlich nur 20 Gramm zunehmen, wie Weihnachten uns Mütter zuverlässig in den Wahnsinn treibt, wieso Partnerschaft im Kleinkindmodus manchmal aus Rülpsen, Bratwürsten und Missverständnissen besteht und weshalb wir uns alle ständig fragen: Wie machen andere Eltern das bitte ohne Nervenzusammenbruch? Spoiler: Tun sie nicht. Eine Folge für alle Eltern, Mütter, Familien und mental-load-geplagten Menschen, die wissen wollen, ob sie noch normal sind. (Antwort: absolut.)

Anna is a mum, a teacher, vicar's wife, DBE and Bishop's Council member, and the CPAS specialist on working with schools. Her Education MA thesis was on Christian distinctiveness in CE schools, and she delivers clergy training nationally.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith explores the challenges of balancing mental load and domestic labor, particularly for women in medicine. She is joined by Dr. Pip Houghton, a family physician, facilitator, and advocate for women's wellness. Dr. Houghton shares her expertise in mental health and her personal journey with the Fair Play Method, offering practical strategies for creating more equitable and joyful lives at home and at work. Together, they discuss how open communication, trust, and small changes can lead to big results for busy professionals and families. Listeners will gain valuable insights into sharing responsibilities, building supportive partnerships, and lightening the mental load—making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking balance and sustainability in their personal and professional lives. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: The Fair Play Method Empowers Equitable Domestic Labor Pip Houghton shares how the Fair Play Method helps families clearly define, distribute, and take ownership of household tasks. This system reduces mental load, prevents resentment, and creates more space for joy, self-care, and professional fulfillment—especially for women physicians. Open Communication and Trust Are Essential Successful implementation of Fair Play and equitable labor requires honest conversations and mutual trust between partners. Letting go of micromanagement and allowing each person to fully own their responsibilities is key to reducing stress and building a supportive partnership. Small Changes Lead to Big Results Pip emphasizes starting with one small task—like managing garbage or backpacks—to build momentum and confidence. Gradually, these small wins can transform household dynamics, involve children in responsibilities, and even improve teamwork in professional settings. Meet Dr. Pip Houghton: Dr Phillippa "Pip" Houghton is a family physician on Vancouver Island providing addiction, mental health and primary care to adults and youth in her community. Dr Pip completed a B.Sc. in Kinesiology from the University of Victoria (2011), medical school at The University of Wollongong (2015) and family practice residency through the University of British Columbia in 2019. In addition to her formal education, Dr Pip is particularly supporting families in navigating the many challenges that we all face when it comes to balancing the demands of the three P's (partner, professional, parent). Dr Pip has pursued additional education in the areas of perinatal Mental Health, digital health and wellness and most recently as a Fair Play Facilitator. In addition to her assigned roles, Dr Pip is also a mother to three boys, wife to an amazing husband, house hippo owner, new-ish CrossFit enthusiast, creative writer, book club enthusiast and cut-flower garden newbie.

Have you ever looked at your planner and thought, “I'm behind in everything — I can't keep up”?”If you're an overwhelmed mom with a to-do list that feels like it's running your life, this little episode is for you. These past few weeks have been a blur here—ER visits, medical to-dos, homeschooling catch-up, family visiting, and a cold—and even with all of that, my planner is still covered in crossed-out tasks and undone lists. Maybe you're living a week like that too.In this gentle mini-reflection, I share the moment everything broke open for me—when I was moving nonstop yet still felt painfully behind—and the simple, faith-filled reset that helped me breathe again. You'll hear why our brains get stuck in the “I can't catch up” loop, the verse that steadied my heart, and a tiny shift that can bring clarity right in the middle of a very full life.If your mental load is heavy and you feel behind in everything, this episode will give you a breath of grace and a practical next step without adding more to your plate.XOXO,KatieWould you like to bless this show?

In dieser Koproduktion laden Anna und ich uns gegenseitig zum Gespräch. Am gemütlichen Küchentisch plaudern wir über "Gott und die Welt." - über das, was uns im Alltag beschäftigt und wie wir damit umgehen (könnten). Dabei erzählen wir Geschichten aus der "Mama Sicht" werfen aber auch einen psychologischen Blick (Doris) und einen ernährungstechnischen Blick (Anna) auf unsere Themen. Was dabei herausgekommen ist? Ein Realtalk über das * ewig schlechte Gewissen als Mama * Erwartungen und Peoplepleasing * Überforderung und Erschöpfung * Selbstfürsorge und den Mut zur Lücke. Wir haben viel gelacht und sogar die eine oder andere Träne vergossen.

Erstausstattung, Panzertrage und Babyohren mit Käsegeruch. Fanny und Alina sprechen über das, was wirklich zählt – und was man sich sparen kann. Von sündhaft teuren Babytragen über Wolle-Seide-Bodies, Rückenschiss-Alarm und Wickelbodies bis hin zu Po-Duschen fürs Wochenbett: Willkommen in der ehrlichen Realität zwischen Stillpads, Schnullerdramen und nächtlichen Grunzgeräuschen. Babys sind eben kleine individuelle Systeme – jedes auf seine ganz eigene, leicht verrückte Art.

In dieser Folge spreche ich über eine Wahrheit, die viele Mütter kennen, aber kaum jemand laut ausspricht: Abnehmen fühlt sich für Mütter oft so an, als würde es gegen ihr Leben arbeiten – statt mit ihm. Zwischen Kinderchaos, Kita-Morgen, Terminen, Meetings, Schlafmangel, Schuldgefühlen und diesem ständigen Gefühl, funktionieren zu müssen, bleibt eines oft komplett auf der Strecke: Du selbst. Und genau das führt dazu, dass so viele Frauen glauben, sie würden „scheitern“, obwohl sie in Wahrheit einfach nur überlastet sind. In dieser Episode erfährst du:

Steff beschäftigt wie schlau die Zwillinge im Kindergarten zu neuem Spielzeug gekommen sind. Und im Anschluss diskutieren die beiden, ob ein Social Media Verbot für unter 16-Jährige sinnvoll ist.

In this conversation, Dr. Alexandra totally nerds-out with Dr. Allison Daminger about the division of work in couples, particularly in an often overlooked domain: the mental space. In her research, Daminger found that even when couples approximate parity around “time use”, there are still huge gaps in what she calls “mind use” or cognitive labor… even for modern couples who believe in what she calls the Myth of Mutuality, an equal partnership where both partners evenly share the load.You will hear about the gendered disparities in cognitive labor in the home in a gentle, blame-free way. When it comes to gender roles in family life, we tend to overestimate the effects of individual differences and underestimate the effects of bigger social forces. So if the load is feeling unequal in your partnership, Daminger wants you to move away from guilt and blame and toward strategies that move you closer to your ideals. In this episode, you'll hear about:What constitutes cognitive labor and why women tend to carry the lion's share. Experiences from couples in Allison's research who successfully created shared systems for cognitive labor, and the approaches and conditions that made that possible. The narratives couples use to justify how they divide labor, especially when trying to avoid recreating gendered patterns (while often recreating them anyway). How to spot cognitive labor disparities in your own home and use that awareness to divide responsibilities more fairly based on skill rather than “personality” (i.e., gendered expectations). The pressure that broader societal structures place on individual households, and how reframing the issue can support calls for systemic change. How to start small and make meaningful shifts toward parity in cognitive labor.Resources worth mentioning from the episode:Dr. Allison Daminger's book, What's On Her Mind - The Mental Workload of Family Life: https://bookshop.org/p/books/what-s-on-her-mind-the-mental-workload-of-family-life-allison-daminger/585e2aa7eac0a0eaLearn more about Dr. Allison Daminger and sign up for her newsletter The Daminger Dispatch: https://www.allisondaminger.com/Continue the conversation with Dr. Alexandra Solomon:Ask a question!

76% of workers are more stressed than two years ago. 50% of working women report deteriorating mental health. And here's what should make you furious: The #1 cause of burnout isn't personal issues—it's unmanageable workloads.What if everything your employer is offering—the wellness stipends, the meditation apps, the mental health days—is treating symptoms while ignoring the disease?Three-quarters are saying "thanks, but no thanks."In this episode, I'm calling out why workers say their employer's mental health resources aren't helping—and showing you why job sharing is mental health infrastructure, not just another flexible work option.In episode 55:Why women are driving 70% of all mental health leavesThe data employers don't want to face about their "solutions"What Fair Play is—and why job sharing is like the work version that flows into your home3 things employers should actually do (hint: protect time for deep work)5 ways job sharing fundamentally supports mental health (hint: 4 consecutive days off every week)

On this episode of MissPerceived, Leah flips the script on the mental load, shifting focus from mothers to the evolving experience of dads. Drawing from new research and hundreds of interviews across the US and Australia, Leah unpacks how modern fathers are navigating emotional thinking work-what she calls the “mental load logics”-while managing family, work, and parenting standards that have changed almost overnight. From comparing themselves to their own fathers (as anti-models or “good, but I can do better”) to wrestling with gendered expectations in their partnerships, today's dads face a cognitive challenge that's often overlooked. Leah explores the concept of metaparenting, the self-reflective work of deciding who you want to be as a parent in a society with few clear role models for engaged fatherhood.

Faith isn't just found in perfect routines or long Bible lessons — it's found in the ordinary moments where love, grace, and patience show up.

In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why simple, everyday faith matters most ✨ How to overcome the guilt of “not doing enough” ✨ Easy, natural ways to weave Jesus into your daily routines You are raising little hearts to find Jesus in the small, ordinary moments of motherhood.

On this episode, Professor Leah dives into new research revealing why high-powered, high-earning mothers still can't shake their mental load—no matter how much money, help, or flexibility they gain. Discover the difference between core and episodic mental load, why domestic cognitive labor sticks to women regardless of income or status, and how “gender stickiness” explains persistent burnout among mothers. With insights from over 2,000 parents and fresh findings on fatherhood, this episode gives a validating look into why women can outsource chores but not the relentless task of organizing, remembering, and anticipating every detail of family life.Follow Leah Ruppanner at https://www.instagram.com/prof.leah/Follow the MissPerceived Podcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/missperceivedpodcast Hosted on Acast.

Call it what you like — sleep deprivation/sleep recession/The Exhaustion Economy —but when you're not getting enough sleep as a parent, it's sheer torture. And when actor Keira Knightley named it for the hell it is, every parent felt it in their (tired) bones. This week, we’re unpacking the long-haul burnout that comes with parenting — and the societal shrug that keeps it invisible. Meanwhile, if you think your parenting Group Chats are delivering chaos, you're not alone. Amelia (ever the secret Nicole) has three golden rules to survive them, while Monz is rolling out the five parent archetypes you’ll absolutely recognise.

Jetzt downloaden unter: dear-monday.de/female-leadership-spotlight/ki-mentalload-handout +++Künstliche Intelligenz verändert unsere Arbeitswelt rasant – doch anstatt Angst zu haben, können wir sie nutzen, um menschlicher, kreativer und reflektierter zu arbeiten. In dieser Folge des Female Leadership Podcasts spricht Vera Strauch mit Gregor Schmalzried, Tech-Journalist und Autor des Buchs „Wir, aber besser – Wie KI unsere Arbeit menschlicher machen kann“, über die Zukunft von Arbeit, Bildung und Führung im Zeitalter der KI.Gemeinsam beleuchten wir Fragen wie:Wie sicher ist mein Job in Zeiten von KI?Welche Tätigkeiten werden ersetzt – und welche neu entstehen?Wie kann ich KI konkret in meiner Arbeit nutzen, um Zeit zu sparen, bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen und kreativ zu bleiben?Was muss ich heute lernen, um morgen erfolgreich zu sein?Du erfährst, warum KI nicht das Ende der Wissensarbeit bedeutet, sondern neue Chancen eröffnet – und warum wir lernen müssen, KI bewusst zu nutzen. Statt „Brainrot“ geht es um Brillanz: um klügeres Denken, kritische Reflexion und die Fähigkeit, mit Technologie im Dialog zu bleiben.Du kannst aus dem Gespräch besonders fünf Dinge mitnehmen:1️⃣ KI ersetzt keine Menschen, sondern ergänzt sie. Wenn wir verstehen, wie KI funktioniert, können wir sie gezielt als Werkzeug nutzen, das uns hilft, besser zu denken und zu lernen.2️⃣ Kreativität und kritisches Denken werden wichtiger denn je. Es geht nicht darum, schneller zu werden, sondern klüger: zu reflektieren, zu hinterfragen und den menschlichen Anteil in unserer Arbeit bewusst zu gestalten.3️⃣ Mut und Neugier sind noch immer die besten Zukunftsskills. Wir müssen nicht alles über KI wissen, aber wir sollten anfangen, sie auszuprobieren und im Alltag zu verstehen.4️⃣ Wir brauchen Räume zum Ausprobieren. Viele Menschen nutzen KI bereits heimlich, Gregor nennt sie „Secret Cyborgs“. Sie automatisieren kleine Aufgaben, ohne darüber zu sprechen. Doch Innovation entsteht nur, wenn wir offen teilen, was wir lernen, und gemeinsam ausprobieren.5️⃣ Führung verändert sich. Es geht nicht mehr darum, alle Antworten zu kennen, sondern gute Fragen zu stellen – und Teams zu befähigen, mit dieser neuen Technologie souverän umzugehen.Mir ist in der Vorbereitung auf die Folge und im Gespräch bewusst geworden, dass wir alle in dieser Entwicklung am selben Startpunkt stehen. Egal, ob du dich schon intensiv mit KI beschäftigst oder erst beginnst – niemand hat hier jahrzehntelange Erfahrung. Das kann uns Mut machen: Wir können gemeinsam lernen, experimentieren und definieren, wie „gute Arbeit“ in der KI-Ära aussieht.KI ist kein Ersatz für unser Denken, sondern – wie Gregor so schön sagt – ein E-Bike für den Verstand.

Feeling foggy, restless, or mentally exhausted even on calm days? You might not be overwhelmed by what's happening; you might just be carrying too much mental clutter. This episode explores why constant thinking doesn't equal clarity, how mental fatigue turns into overwhelm, and simple ways to clear the noise.

Ep. 220 If you've been pouring from an empty cup, this is your reminder that rest isn't a luxury—it's necessary for healing and restoration. As women, we're taught to keep adding—roles, goals, responsibilities—until rest feels “unnatural.” During the Aligned Entrepreneur Pod-a-Thon, I sat down with Sleep Coach Soda Kuczkowski to name that conditioning, release the guilt, and practice rest as a pathway to healing and aligned leadership. We unpack why exhaustion became the norm and how to restore clarity, creativity, and peace with science-backed habits that actually fit a real woman's life.

In this episode, I'm opening up about the hidden mental load that follows a PCS and sharing what I've learned about actually getting settled, not just unpacked.

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms.

You don't need a new planner. You don't need more motivation. You need a system that actually fits your life. The problem isn't that you're not doing enough — it's that you've been doing everything without systems that actually support you. In this episode, I'm breaking down how I help moms go from overwhelmed to peaceful in just 6 weeks.

And the longer you carry the invisible weight, the more it rewires your mind to expect pressure instead of peace.In this episode, I'll show you the neuroscience behind mental load, why emotional regulation often falls to one person in the home, and how to use small brain-based strategies to reduce burnout without guilt.

Who carries the weight in your relationship or early dates—the calendar, the check-ins, the emotional temperature checks? We're diving into the mental load that happens in modern relationship – and what brings you closer versus take on unnecessary hardship.
