Laundry piles aren't just about laundry. For many working moms, especially those who are neurodivergent or have ADHD, unfinished to-dos carry emotional weight, guilt, and harsh self-talk that quietly drain your energy. In this episode, we explore why undone tasks feel so heavy and how everyday clutter often becomes a symbol for overwhelm, burnout, and unrealistic expectations.This conversation isn't about fixing your house or getting everything done. It's about understanding the emotional charge behind unfinished to-dos and learning how to release the judgment that makes even small tasks feel exhausting. What you'll learn:Why laundry piles and undone to-dos often trigger shame and self-criticismHow ADHD and neurodivergent brains experience clutter differentlyWhy unfinished tasks can feel emotionally overwhelming, not just inconvenientHow guilt and unrealistic standards make it harder to get things doneA more compassionate way to think about to-dos without tying them to your worthIf you feel weighed down by clutter, undone tasks, or the constant feeling that you're behind, this episode offers relief, perspective, and permission to be gentler with yourself. Because laundry is just laundry and you are not defined by what's left on your to-do list.Free Resources:

If you're a health-focused entrepreneur who hustles hard but feels inflamed, exhausted, wired-but-tired, or out of rhythm with your body, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore how chronic stress, circadian rhythm disruption, and nervous system overload are quietly driving inflammation, burnout, gut issues, hormone imbalance, and immune dysfunction—especially in high-achieving women. We talk about Ayurveda as a practical, modern lifestyle framework, not a trend, and how understanding your elemental design (dosha) can help you work with your biology instead of constantly fighting it. This episode is a grounding reminder that you can still be ambitious—and healthy—at the same time. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Why Stress Creates Inflammation (Even If You Eat "Healthy") Chronic mental and emotional stress keeps the nervous system locked in fight-or-flight, which directly fuels physical inflammation and chronic disease. We talk about why you can't live in hustle mode 24/7 without eventually draining your reserves—and how burnout is often the body's last signal to slow down. 2. Circadian Rhythm and Seasonal Hustle Not every season of life is meant for full throttle. We discuss how circadian rhythm and elemental design teach us when to push—and when to rest—so we don't burn out the very bodies we rely on to build our businesses. 3. Ayurveda 101: Understanding Your Elemental Design Dr. Shivani breaks down the three Ayurvedic constitutions in a modern, relatable way: Vata (air + ether): creative, fast-moving, prone to anxiety, dryness, insomnia Pitta (fire + water): driven, focused, prone to irritability, inflammation, overheating Kapha (earth + water): steady, nurturing, prone to sluggish metabolism, stagnation Knowing your type helps you eat, work, rest, and self-regulate more effectively—especially as an entrepreneur. 4. Food as Grounding, Not Restriction We talk about why: Vata types often need more carbs and healthy fats, not less Pitta types need cooling foods to calm inflammation Kapha types thrive with movement and warm, easy-to-digest meals This conversation reframes food as nourishment and regulation—not control. 5. Perimenopause, Menopause & Hormonal Shifts We dive into how Ayurveda supports women through hormone changes by focusing on: Sleep quality Gut health Stress regulation Circadian rhythm alignment Herbal and lifestyle support Rather than fearing these transitions, we talk about how to move through them with more resilience and self-trust.

Many moms already wake up feeling tired, and it's not because they're doing too much, but because they're carrying too much. In this episode of Electric Ideas, Whitney sits down with Leah Ruppanner, professor of sociology, to talk about the mental load of motherhood and why it's so often invisible, brushed off, or just accepted as "part of being a mom."   They talk about the constant background thinking moms do all day long, including keeping track of schedules, anticipating needs, managing emotions, making decisions, and holding everything together in ways no one really sees. Leah breaks down the 8 categories of mental load, helping put language to the many different ways this shows up in daily life. From emotional labor to future planning and decision fatigue, this conversation helps explain why so many moms feel overwhelmed even when they can't point to one specific thing.   Whitney and Leah also dig into why the mental load builds quietly over time, why it's so hard to hand off to someone else, and how cultural expectations keep moms taking on more than their fair share, often without realizing it. Leah shares her mental load assessment, a simple but eye-opening tool that helps moms see where their energy is actually going and which areas are asking for more support.   If you've ever felt exhausted, resentful, or on edge and wondering why everything feels so hard, this episode will help you make sense of it and give you a place to start naming what you're really carrying.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: The many mental loads moms take on and how deep the mental load actually goes The 8 different mental load types moms experience Where to start when we want to be aware of our mental load capacity Reflection question to ponder:  Am I spending my mental load aligned with my purpose?   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Leah: Instagram | Website | Book: Drained | Free Mental Load Assessment

Being an adult is so hard because of the constant, low-level decisions that never stop - the scheduling, the errands, the emails, the meals, the maintenance, and the mental load that quietly piles up in the background of daily life. In this episode, I'm breaking down the systems and skills that have made my adult life feel calmer, more predictable, and more manageable. Instead of relying on motivation or discipline, these are practical frameworks I use to reduce decision fatigue, lower stress, and support my nervous system through everyday life. We talk about scheduling in a way that actually works, why maintenance prevents burnout, how to manage life admin without overwhelm, why feeding yourself consistently matters more than you think, and how self-regulation ties everything together. This episode is about building a life that feels lighter - not by doing more, but by creating systems that support you when things get busy.Subscribe to Beyond Your Budget:https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/Personal Finance Starter Kit: https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/p/your-personal-finance-starter-kitHow to Be Organized Article: https://annanewton.substack.com/p/how-to-be-organised-in-2026BREAK YOUR BUDGET RESOURCES:

It was never about the dishes… It's about mental load, invisible labor, and power inside modern marriage. To dig into why so many women feel this strain inside their marriages, Susan Guthrie is joined by Kate Anthony, a globally recognized divorce coach, feminist thought leader, and the author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage. Kate is also the creator and host of the top-ranked Divorce Survival Guide Podcast. Together, Susan and Kate talk candidly about how deeply ingrained expectations still shape modern relationships, often in ways people don't recognize until the damage is done. They explore why patriarchy harms women while also isolating men, what real partnership actually looks like in practice, and how patterns like deflection, denial, and  quietly erode trust over time. The conversation also addresses the very real impact these dynamics have on women's emotional and physical safety, and why naming them clearly can be a powerful first step toward change. What You'll Learn How mental load becomes a proxy for deeper issues of power, responsibility, and respect How patriarchy shapes modern marriage in ways that harm women while also isolating men and fueling resentment What real partnership looks like in practice and why occasional help is not the same as shared ownership What it often means when one partner says they were “blindsided” by divorce and how invisible labor plays a role Why naming these dynamics clearly can be a critical first step toward safety, clarity, and meaningful change About the Guest Kate Anthony is a feminist thought leader, divorce coach, and author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage. As the host of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast (3.5M+ downloads; globally ranked in the top 0.5%), Kate brings fierce clarity and grounded compassion to conversations about coercive control, codependency, and the complex dynamics that shape women's relationships and choices.

Her work blends feminist analysis, relational insight, and practical communication tools that empower women to make safe, self-led decisions. Kate is also developing a groundbreaking project exploring true crime as women's survival literature, illuminating the coercive control patterns and systemic failures embedded in headline cases.

Wenn du Bock auf mehr hast: Such uns auf Spotify & Co. – und jetzt ab ins Fieber-Chaos. Allein mit zwei Kindern. Fieber, Chaos, Schweiß. Rektalthermometer im Reisball (was zur Hölle?).

Mutter tot im Kinderhörspiel – und zwar nicht „so nebenbei“, sondern als saftiger Storyline-Schocker: Willkommen bei den drei Ausrufezeichen und einem Abend, der direkt in eine zweistündige Einschlafbegleitung eskaliert. Danach wird's organisatorisch… sagen wir: sportlich. Wer hat eigentlich die Termine im Griff – Alina oder Basti? Wer weiß, wann Physiotherapie ist, wer packt die Wickeltasche, wer denkt an Wechselklamotten, Snacks, Unterlagen und dieses eine Teil, das man immer genau dann vergisst, wenn man's wirklich braucht? Zuständigkeiten, unsichtbare To-dos, spontane Planänderungen mit Baby im Arm – und die Frage, ob Kontrolle ein Mythos ist oder einfach nur schlecht verteilt.

January often arrives with a familiar mix of motivation and pressure: new goals, new systems, and yet another promise to “do better.” In this episode of the SEAM Podcast, host Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with Kerri O'Hara, founder of The Curated Day Planner, to examine why traditional approaches to planning and New Year's resolutions so often fail women and what actually works instead. Designed with neurodivergent women in mind, The Curated Day Planner emerged from Kerri's own experience navigating ADHD, burnout, and the invisible mental load that shapes daily life.For more, follow The Seam on Instagram, watch full episodes on Youtube, or visit the Lynne Cohen Foundation website.Produced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

EP570. This week, Renee is joined by Tyler Champagne (@Heated_Seats) for a candid conversation about balancing parenting with content creation. Tyler shares his journey from making car content to becoming a widely followed parenting creator after becoming a dad, and how one exhausted, sleep-deprived rant after his son's birth shifted everything. Together, they talk openly about labor and delivery trauma, unrealistic expectations around new parenthood, and the shock of bringing a newborn home without truly knowing what's ahead.The conversation dives deep into postpartum, mental load, and default parenting — including Tyler's viral Understanding Postpartum for Dads series and the unexpected response from moms who felt seen for the first time.

Send us a textIf you have ever said, “I just need more hours in the day,” or looked at your phone screen time like it personally betrayed you, this episode is going to feel wildly validating. I sat down with Kelly Nolan, a former attorney turned time management strategist, to talk about why so much productivity advice just does not work for women and why that is not a personal failure.Kelly shares the moment that changed everything for her. Picture this. She is a young lawyer, drowning in work, when a male partner jokes about a stain on her sweater. That tiny comment cracked something open. Kelly realized that the time management systems she was trying to follow were built for people with an entirely different level of support, mental load, and life structure. No wonder she felt like she was failing.We dig into the idea of the “time tipping point,” that moment when capable, organized women suddenly feel overwhelmed. Not because they forgot how to function, but because life got more complex. More responsibility, more invisible labor, more decisions. Kelly explains why women are not disorganized; we are overloaded.She also walks us through the deceptively simple digital habit that changed everything for her. Using her calendar not just for meetings, but for real life. The stuff we usually hold in our heads. Work, home, rest, energy, and the curveballs that inevitably show up. We talk about why time management is actually energy management, how to plan around hormonal shifts, kids, migraines, and unpredictable days, and why rest is not a reward but a requirement.If you are multitasking while listening and wondering if you will even finish this episode, yes, this one is for you.What's Inside:Why most time management advice fails women and why it is not a personal flawThe real reason women hit a time tipping point and feel suddenly overwhelmedHow using your calendar for real life reduces mental load and decision fatigueWhy rest and energy management are essential, not optional, for productivityThis conversation reminded me that clarity creates calm, not more pressure. You are not behind. You are not broken. You are carrying a lot. And when you stop trying to manage time in your head, everything starts to feel lighter.I would love to know what part of your life is taking up the most invisible time and energy right now. DM me on Instagram and tell me what you are noticing after listening to this episode.Mentioned in This Episode:Kelly NolanOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Our Love Story, Q&A for CouplesThis isn't about a plate on the couch or medicine left on the counter.​It's about who carries the responsibility to notice, remember, remind, and finish.​​In this episode, we react to a post that hits a nerve for so many marriages. A wife asking the question countless partners silently wrestle with. Do I keep bringing this up or do I just let it go and pick up the slack?​​We unpack why these moments feel so much heavier than they should, how mental load builds resentment over time, and why asking adults to clean up after themselves starts to feel parental instead of partnered. This conversation goes beyond chores and into emotional labor, accountability, and the quiet erosion of connection when one person becomes the default manager of the household.​​If you have ever felt exhausted by having the same conversation over and over, wondered why it feels easier to just do it yourself, or questioned why your expectations for your kids don't seem to apply to your partner, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.​​This is not about blame.​​It is about understanding what is really happening underneath the frustration.​​Dyanna Eisel, licensed couples counselor​Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DyannaEiselTherapyLLC​​MOMnationFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MOMnationUSA/​​#marriagehelp #relationshipadvice #momlife​​

Kleinkind-Wutanfälle bei zweijährigen Kindern sind wirklich ein Spießrutenlauf – so viel atmen kann man gar nicht. Die Natur hat diese kleinen Wutbürger halt auch extra niedlich gemacht, damit man's irgendwie aushält… und trotzdem haben wir den Exorzisten schon auf Kurzwahl. Und dann: Was zur Hölle war eigentlich früher los? Struwwelpeter, Max und Moritz: WTF, geht's noch? Das sind ja teilweise Kinder-True-Crime-Geschichten – und True Crime mit Kinderschicksalen ist für Elternsein manchmal einfach nicht mehr aushaltbar. Warum, wieso, weshalb – erfahrt ihr in der Folge. Und was geht eigentlich bei Meeresgeburten? Wir haben Fragen. Viele. Und was haltet ihr davon, wenn Mama Leisa mal ganz frech 2027 auf Live-Tour geht – hättet ihr Bock?

In this episode, Tara sits down with popular content creator of @ThatDarnChat, Fair Play Facilitator, and author of the new book No More Mediocre, Laura Danger for an honest, validating, and occasionally uncomfortably relatable conversation about domestic labor, mental load, and why so many partnerships quietly slide into mediocrity. They unpack how the pandemic cracked things wide open exposing just how uneven household responsibilities really are and why so many couples are still struggling to rebalance things years later. Spoiler: it's not because anyone's “bad at helping,” it's because the entire concept of help is part of the problem. Laura and Tara dig into the cultural conditioning that shapes our expectations at home, from who notices what needs to be done to who feels responsible for making sure it gets done. They explore the difference between expectations and standards (yes, they are not the same thing), and how unmet expectations can quietly turn into resentment, disconnection, and even feelings of betrayal. The conversation also touches on why mediocre relationships are so often tolerated (and normalized) especially for women and mothers who were taught to lower the bar and keep the peace. Drawing from her book No More Mediocre, Laura makes a powerful case for intentionality in domestic roles and communication, emphasizing that equity doesn't happen accidentally. Tara and Laura also reflect on how online conversations have helped name the mental load and bring language to something so many parents feel but couldn't quite articulate. If you've ever felt exhausted by carrying the invisible work at home, or wondered why “just tell me what to do” isn't the solution, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and maybe a little fired up (in a good way).

God doesn't wait for us to get it all together before He meets us. He meets us in the tired. In the overwhelm. In the moments we admit we can't keep going like this. In this episode, I'm sharing my testimony - not because I've got it all figured out, but because peace found me in surrender, not perfection.

Are you "bad with money," or are you just exhausted? If your brain feels like a browser with 100 tabs open, you are likely carrying a heavy mental load. While we often talk about mental load regarding chores or parenting, there is a Financial Mental Load, the invisible worry, planning, and remembering, that is silently sabotaging your bank account. In this episode, we explore why burnout is not just an emotional issue; it is a financial one. We break down why smart, capable professionals struggle to stick to a budget and how decision fatigue leads to expensive impulse buys and "convenience costs." In this episode, you will learn: The "Bandwidth Tax": Why having a full to-do list literally lowers your financial IQ and leads to poor money decisions. The "Ostrich Effect": Why we ignore our bank accounts when we are stressed and how to break the cycle of avoidance. Revenge Bedtime Procrastination: The psychology behind why we stay up late shopping online to regain a sense of control. The "Financial Uniform": How to reduce decision fatigue by standardizing your money choices. Systems Over Willpower: Tools to automate your finances so they work even when you are running on empty. Stop beating yourself up for being tired. Tune in to learn how to lower your mental load and build a financial system that supports you, rather than drains you.

Eine Gitarre explodiert mitten im Raum. Kinder reden von unsichtbaren Männern in der Ecke, von früheren Leben, von Dingen mit erschreckend genauen Details. Und plötzlich die große Frage: glauben wir das gerade – oder lügen Kinder einfach verdammt gut? Zwischen Neujahr, müden Eltern, kindlicher Fantasie und erfundenen Geschichten reden wir darüber, ob, wann und warum Kinder lügen, was dahintersteckt und warum diese Storys manchmal so real klingen, dass selbst Erwachsene kurz ins Grübeln kommen.

In this episode, Caleigh and Sara get real about the mental load of “being healthy” and why modern wellness can feel like a full-time job. We talk about how tracking everything (sleep, steps, water, HRV, supplements, macros, deep sleep percentages, you name it) can turn into stress instead of support, and how the constant stream of conflicting fitness advice makes it even harder to know what actually matters.We also dig into the difference between helpful structure and neurotic optimization, why “just start with a 20-minute walk” is both valid and kind of wild in today's sedentary world, and how we're trying to simplify: quality food, movement, water, sleep… and letting the rest be optional. Plus: a mini rant about recycling rules, sleep trackers that roast you daily, and the holy grail of routines that don't require you to become a robot.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Balance is a myth. It's not real life. Not with kids. Not with work. Not with the constant pull of motherhood. What we actually need is the margin to rest, reset, and live at a pace that honors your real life. This week's episode is one of my favorites. We talk about: • Why balance doesn't work • What moms are actually craving • How to create real margin in your day • The small shifts that make a big difference Here is your permission to slow down.

Feeling like you're supposed to be everywhere online? Instagram. TikTok. Facebook. Pinterest. YouTube. Threads. It's exhausting. And for subscription box owners who are already sourcing products, packing boxes, fulfilling orders, and serving customers, it's simply not realistic. In this week's Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, we're talking about why trying to “be everywhere” is burning you out and how choosing two primary marketing channels plus email can simplify your strategy, free your time, and help you show up with more clarity and consistency. The Mental Load of “Being Everywhere” Most subscription box owners aren't just creating content, they're juggling every part of their business. When you're told you must be on every platform, it adds guilt, pressure, and overwhelm. Remember: You're building a subscription box, not applying to be a full-time influencer. Trying to chase every social media trend only spreads your energy thin and keeps you from showing up the way your audience needs you to. Start with Momentum Before you add anything new, look at what's already working. Are you consistently active on Instagram? Does your Facebook group get good engagement? Do your Pinterest pins get clicks? Are your Stories getting replies? You don't need to reinvent the wheel. Build on what already has traction.Momentum is one of the most valuable assets in your business. Don't ignore it to chase something shiny and new. The 2 Channels plus Email Formula Here's your simple focus formula: Choose 2 Primary Marketing Channels Add Email Marketing Every Week Pick your channels based on: Where your audience already spends time Where you can show up with consistency What feels natural for you to maintain Your mix might look like: Instagram Reels & Facebook Lives Pinterest & Blog posts TikTok & Instagram Stories But no matter what you choose, email is non-negotiable. Your email list is the only audience you own, and it drives launches, waitlist signups, and sales. If a social post flops, nobody sees it.But when you send an email? It lands in inboxes. That's powerful. Build a Repeatable Routine First Most subscription box owners don't need more platforms. They need more consistency. Before asking “Where else should I be?”, ask: “Am I showing up consistently here?” “Does my audience know when to expect me?” “Have I built my content muscle yet?” Nail your routine on two channels plus email first. Then you can repurpose or expand once it feels easy. Action Steps Audit your energy and results: What's working? What's draining you? Choose your 2 primary channels and commit to them for the next 90 days. Send a weekly email (even a short one). Build the habit. Don't add more until you've built consistency where you already are. You don't need to be everywhere. You just need to be where it matters consistently. Join me for this episode and find out why doing less can actually help you grow more. Two channels. Plus email. That's it. And I'll show you how to make it work. Join me in all the places:     Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website  Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

As runners, it's so easy to look back on a year and immediately zoom in on what didn't go as planned — the missed runs, the injuries, the goals we didn't hit. In this episode, we slow things down and invite you into a different kind of reflection — one rooted in curiosity, compassion, and growth rather than judgment.We guide you through a thoughtful process to reflect on your year in running, helping you notice both the visible wins and the quieter moments that shaped you along the way. Instead of asking, “Was this a good year or a bad year?” we explore more meaningful questions like: What supported you? What challenged you? What did your body and mind teach you?You'll be prompted with reflective questions designed to help you:Celebrate the wins you might be overlookingLearn from setbacks without attaching shame or frustrationRecognize patterns in your training, recovery, and mindsetUnderstand what truly helped you stay consistent (and what didn't)We also talk about the importance of separating who you are as a runner from any single race, pace, or performance — and how identity-based intentions can create more sustainable motivation and joy moving forward.This episode isn't about setting rigid goals or forcing a fresh start. It's about integration — taking the lessons from this year and carrying them forward in a way that feels supportive, intentional, and aligned with the runner you want to continue becoming.If you've ever felt stuck, disappointed, or unsure about how to move into a new season of running, this conversation will help you reflect with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

Körpergefühl nach Schwangerschaft, der Blick in den Spiegel und die leise Frage: War ich eigentlich jemals zufrieden mit meinem Körper? Fanny spricht offen über Body Positivity, Bauch, warum sie jetzt wieder Sport macht – und warum alte Fotos manchmal ehrlicher sind, als einem lieb ist. Und dann das Bullshit-Bingo der Krankheiten bei Alina: Plötzlich haben alle RSV, nichts hilft mehr – keine Masken, keine Heilsteine, kein guter Wille. Wie man sich durch diesen Elternalltag kämpft, kann eigentlich niemand so richtig sagen. Also heißt es: durchhalten, funktionieren, ab und zu lachen – wenn's geht. Der Teufel scheißt halt einfach immer auf den größten Haufen. Warum dieses Jahr dringend einen riesigen Rant verdient hat? Hört selbst. Und sagt uns: Wie war euer Jahr bitte?

Motherhood isn't just hard — it's heavy. And one of the biggest invisible weights? Feeding everyone… every single day. In this episode of Surviving Roots, Cari Fund sits down with Diana Arango, co-founder + CEO of Chefpost, a platform connecting busy families with vetted personal chefs on demand. Diana shares the real story behind Chefpost: how her own burnout as a working mom sparked a mission to help families reclaim time, presence, and connection at home.

There's a particular moment many of us know well — when everything feels like too much. Not dramatically, but quietly, heavily, relentlessly. You're still functioning, still showing up, but inside, something is fraying. And the most painful part? The story you tell yourself about it: I should be able to handle this.In this episode, we explore why overwhelm isn't a personal failure — it's a predictable outcome when multiple vulnerabilities align. Using insights from the Swiss Cheese Model and Paul Gilbert's three emotional systems, we unpack why your nervous system can't "just cope" when recovery is structurally unavailable.This isn't about becoming stronger. It's about understanding why one small change can still matter — even when everything feels impossible.We'll explore:Why overwhelm is rarely about one thing — it's an accumulation of pressures that alignHow the Swiss Cheese Model explains why burnout happens when recovery becomes impossibleThe three emotional systems (Threat, Drive, and Soothing) and why modern life keeps two constantly activatedWhy your nervous system needs recovery cycles, not just more willpowerHow one small change can close one vulnerability — and why that mattersWhy resistance to small changes is often a sign of how depleted you areSend me a DM_____________________________________________________________________ Visit jenniferwalter.me – your cosy tree house where tired perfectionists and those done pretending to be fine find space to breathe, dream, and create real change.

This week, we're getting honest about something we know so many of you are feeling too: the mental load of the holiday season. Even as two high-functioning women in very different ways, this stretch of the year has us struggling. Between the busy season in our industry—podcasting, affiliate links, end-of-year pushes—and the nonstop holiday commitments, we've both been feeling behind and overwhelmed. And if you're there too, we want you to know: you're not alone.We walk through the real mental load moms carry right now—coordinating gift lists, keeping track of school dress-up days, navigating volunteer asks, and trying to make everything magical on top of everyday life. So we talk about giving yourself grace, slowing down, and putting the load on paper so you can actually see what you're carrying.We also dive into how differently we each cope. Amy checks in with herself more intentionally this time of year, especially because being overwhelmed means little comments from others can sting more than usual. Abby talks about being a natural ruminator—and how bringing things up with safe people, sooner rather than later, can bring so much peace of mind.Family dynamics during the holidays can get complicated, too. Amy shares the powerful reminder that she can't control how other people experience the holiday. And if anxiety is creeping in, communicating that with the people closest to you can make all the difference. We also share how we balance two totally different approaches to managing the mental load. Abby swears by writing everything down. Amy has always found the idea overwhelming… but she's giving it a try. And Abby walks through how to take that practice a step further once it's all out of your head and on paper. A big takeaway for both of us? Choose one thing and complete it from start to finish. The more we multitask, the more scattered we feel. Slowing down and focusing on a single task has been grounding for us both.Toward the end, we highlight some incredibly helpful tips from our friend Kate Borsato of @theperinatalcollective (linked below). This community has walked alongside us for almost six years now, and we hope today's episode helps you feel supported, understood, and a little lighter during such a busy season.You're doing your best—and that's enough.LINKS AND RESOURCES:JONES: https://www.jonesdairyfarm.com/LMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELFThe Perinatal Collective on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theperinatalcollective/Let's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

The truth is: buying or selling a house can feel like a full-blown identity crisis. Realtors know it, clients feel it, and now we have a licensed therapist here to explain *why* it all gets so emotionally messy. In this episode we welcome Katy's former client and current number one referrer, Mary Ruiz, LPC. She's not just a real estate success story — she's now a licensed professional counselor (and a great one at that). We chat about the mental health rollercoaster that often comes with real estate: from renovations and relocations to the unexpected triggers that show up when people face big change. Mary shares why even competent, confident people often spiral emotionally during a transaction, and how *Realtors can support clients* without carrying the weight of everyone's emotions. We're talking about therapy, boundaries, client meltdowns, and the emotional expectations people carry into real estate decisions. This is a must-listen for any Realtor who's ever felt like an unqualified therapist. Here's what we cover in this episode: - Why therapy and real estate overlap more than you think - The mental toll of buying, selling, building, and renovating - What neurodivergent clients may struggle with during moves - Why confident people often break down during transactions - Tips for helping clients regulate their emotions - When (and how) to set boundaries with difficult clients - Grounding techniques to use during emotional conversations - What Realtors can do to protect their own mental well-being

If you've been carrying the invisible weight of family life, the planning, the remembering, the organising, the worrying, this episode will help you feel understood, validated, and far less alone. When I asked the Motherkind community what felt hardest right now, the same theme kept coming up again and again: The mental load is relentless. And so many of us are quietly drowning under it. So in this episode, I've brought together three powerful voices to help us understand what the mental load really is, why it falls so heavily on mothers, and how we can start to rebalance it. First, Dr Samantha Hiew explains why modern mothers feel so overwhelmed — not because we're failing, but because we're carrying more cognitive and emotional labour than ever. She breaks down what overload does to our memory, mood and sense of self. Next, Dr Morgan Cutlip shares the five common behaviours that quietly block partner involvement and contribute to resentment. She introduces her “within work” and “between work” framework and offers simple, compassionate steps to shift long-standing patterns. Finally, Eve Rodsky reframes communication in a way that changes everything. She shows how we're already communicating the load — often indirectly — and why shifting how we talk about domestic life unlocks shared responsibility. Her CPE “mustard” method explains why full ownership (not reminders) is the real game-changer. In this episode, you'll learn:✨ What the mental load is and why it lands so heavily on mothers The habits that unintentionally shut down partner involvement How to communicate more effectively and reduce friction What “full ownership” looks like and why it frees up mental space This conversation is for every mother who's ever wondered why she's so tired, why she holds everything in her head, and why it feels like there's no space left for herself. You're not imagining it, and you're not failing. The load is simply too heavy to carry alone.

We've had Eli Weinstein on the podcast before (episode 182), where we focused on the postpartum period. Today, we're talking about the next phase of parenthood—one that brings its own growing pains, relationship shifts, and a whole new set of expectations.In his new book, Eli introduces the “holy trinity” of relationships: expectations, perception, and reality. He walks us through how easy it is for these three to get misaligned. One example almost every parent can relate to: when one partner works from home, the expectation is that more will get done around the house. When it doesn't happen, the perception becomes that the partner is lazy, when the reality is that no one ever clearly set the expectation in the first place.If you've been here for a bit, you know about Amy and Drew's weekly meetings. Amy is honest—she doesn't always look forward to them—but they've drastically improved clarity around roles and tasks. If you're trying to bring something like this into your own relationship, Eli shares one simple 15-minute daily practice that can soften resistance and rebuild connection.We also get into a feeling many of us have had at some point: “Why does my spouse feel like another child I have to remind all the time?” Eli normalizes the frustration. Giving your partner direction—even if it seems obvious—is better than simmering in resentment later. Think of it as a reset: just like teaching a child how to walk, sometimes our partners have never been taught certain systems, and clarity is an act of kindness.Eli also breaks down his “import and export” lists. This framework helps families intentionally remove what no longer serves them while protecting what does. And of course, gratitude comes up—Eli shares why small, frequent expressions of appreciation might be the most powerful shift you can make in your marriage.Eli closes the conversation with a grounding reminder: every couple is navigating this same transition. You are not alone. It's never too late to reset, reconnect, and focus on your relationship with more compassion and clarity.LINKS AND RESOURCES:VUORI: 20% off first purchase at: http://vuoriclothing.com/herself Listen to episode #182 - Eli Weinstein with a Male's Perspective on Partnership After Kids and Sharing the Mental Load: https://www.herselfpodcast.com/listen/eliweinsteinmentalloadPre-order his new book "From I Do to We Do" AND get a free workbook: https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/bookEli's Website: https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/The Dude Therapist Podcast: https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/podcastFollow Eli on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eliweinstein_lcsw/Let's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

STOP THE SPIRAL — Day 3: The "Too Much" Spiral Why does everything feel like it's too much? Too many needs, too many tabs open, too many things only YOU seem to remember? Today we're breaking the "mental load myth" wide open — the belief that you have no choice, everything depends on you, and the only options are Superwoman or Bitter Martyr. No one chained you to the kitchen sink. You do have choices — even if they're imperfect ones. In this workshop, I'll show you: • why unconscious yeses create overload • how culture trained women to see themselves as victims of the mental load • why resentment grows when you believe you have "no choice" • how to reclaim your agency with clearer choices, boundaries, and leadership • how to delegate without guilt and simplify without shame You'll leave today feeling lighter, clearer, and more in control of your energy and your home.
