Podcasts about mental load

Many mothers go to the doctor because they feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and they aren't sleeping - and leave with a depression diagnosis and a prescription. The message is: your brain isn't working right, and medication will help you cope. But what if the problem isn't your brain at all? In this episode, I talk with journalist Bob Whitaker, who has spent decades investigating psychiatric treatment in the U.S. We look at how women's distress has been medicalized instead of taken seriously as a response to impossible circumstances. We look at how antidepressants work, which is quite different from what the drug companies have been telling us for years.  He also shares the results of a New Zealand study on postpartum depression that should have changed how we support new mothers - but didn't. Questions this episode will answer Is it burnout or depression? Burnout and depression share a lot of the same symptoms - exhaustion, low mood, difficulty functioning - but they have different roots. Burnout is a response to sustained, unmanageable circumstances. Depression, as it's currently diagnosed and treated, is framed as a brain malfunction. This episode looks at why this difference matters, and why so many mothers get a depression diagnosis when they're experiencing burnout. Why are mothers more likely to be diagnosed with depression? Mothers in the US are frequently carrying an unequal share of household work, childcare, and mental load - often while also working full time - with little support. When that situation becomes unsustainable, the distress it causes is then treated as an individual brain problem rather than a response to a broken system. What prevents postpartum depression? A study out of New Zealand found that consistent, practical support - help with the actual work of running a household - significantly reduced postpartum depression. But even though the findings were significant, more support has not become the standard of care. Should I take antidepressants? Antidepressants may reduce symptoms for some people, but research shows they are far less effective than we've been told - and for mothers whose distress is rooted in unsustainable circumstances, medication addresses the symptom rather than the source. If antidepressants are helping you, that's OK (and do keep taking them!). But antidepressants should be used to help create space for other interventions to work, rather than used long-term. How does society affect women's mental health? When we treat women's distress as a potentially life-long medical problem rather than a signal about unsustainable circumstances, we direct attention away from the structural changes that would actually help. This episode traces how that pattern developed - and what a different approach might look like. What you'll learn in this episode Why the mental load of motherhood is a structural problem, not a brain problem that medication should fixHow psychiatry functions as social control when it diagnoses individuals instead of the broken systems they're living inWhat the New Zealand postpartum depression study found - and why its results were largely ignoredHow drug advertising has shaped what we believe about women's distress - from Valium in the 1960s to antidepressants todayHow to shift from asking "what's wrong with my brain" to "what would actually need to change in my situation" If you want to learn more about Bob's work and the research on depression and antidepressants, go to https://madinamerica.com/. Want to go deeper? The full one-hour conversation with Bob is available to Parenting Membership members. In it, Bob traces exactly how depression came to be understood as a chemical imbalance - not because research proved it, but because psychiatry in the U.S. wanted to rebrand itself as a legitimate medical discipline in the 1980s.  He walks us through how pharmaceutical companies funneled money to academic psychiatrists to become "thought leaders," how Prozac was marketed as making people "feel better than well," and how the industry captured the entire profession so thoroughly that by 1998, the New England Journal of Medicine couldn't find a single academic expert on depression in the US who wasn't taking money from pharmaceutical companies. We went deep on the STAR*D trial - the largest antidepressant study ever conducted. The public was told 70% of patients got better. The actual stay-well rate at one year, once a researcher used a Freedom of Information request to get the raw data: 3%. Bob walks through exactly how that number was inflated - the protocol violations, the patients who were already in remission when they enrolled, the switched measurement scales - and why he calls it a straight-out public betrayal.

It focuses on the problems in the head of the individual, not in the social way we arrange our society. 06:25 From hysteria and electroshock therapy (mostly given to women) in the 1800s, to marketing benzodiazepines to wives in the 1960s, the pattern of pathologizing women's distress has been consistent. 08:32 When benzodiazepines were recognized as addictive in the late 1970s, psychiatry reframed anxiety as a type of depression and switched women to antidepressants, another numbing drug that keeps women quiet and functioning in an impossible situation. 13:31 In the New Zealand study, it says that when women got daily help with housework for six months, postpartum depression was prevented. Yet this support became standard care nowhere, because the system still believes the problem is in people's brains, not in their circumstances. 14:17 Wrapping up today's topic

Heute sprechen wir über ein Thema, das in meiner Praxis immer wieder auftaucht. Ein Thema, das häufig zu Konflikten, Frustration, Rückzug und manchmal sogar zu Trennungsgedanken führt. Es geht um Mental Load und emotionale Verantwortung in Beziehungen. Internationale Studien zeigen seit Jahren, dass Frauen in heterosexuellen Partnerschaften noch immer den Großteil der sogenannten kognitiven und emotionalen Familienarbeit übernehmen. Und auch in meiner Praxis bewegt dieses Thema viele Einzelpersonen und Paare! Wie immer teile ich mein Wissen aus meiner einzel- und paartherapeutischen Praxis mit dir, gebe dir praktische Beispiele und konkrete Übungen mit, die du direkt für dich umsetzen kannst.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we're diving into what's really happening in those moments where you snap, shut down, or react in a way you never thought you would. Not because you don't care. Not because you don't know what to do. But because your capacity is maxed out. I'm joined by Dr. Cassidy Freitas, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of Mom Needs a Moment, and we're unpacking the shame spiral that so many parents fall into, and why understanding your own limits is actually a critical part of showing up for your kids. We talk about what it looks like to take space without guilt, how shame keeps us stuck while guilt can actually guide us, and why repair matters more than getting it right in the moment. We also get into how our own childhood experiences show up in our parenting, especially in the moments that feel the most charged. This isn't about becoming a perfect parent. It's about understanding what's happening inside you so you can respond with more clarity, more intention, and a whole lot more compassion. Alright folks, let's dive in.

Fanny und Alina sind endlich wieder zu zweit. Kein Gast, kein Crashkurs, einfach nur die zwei. Und es gibt viel aufzuräumen. Erstmal: Was ist übrig geblieben von Kathy Webers Tipps? Alina hat es versucht. Wirklich. Ins Bett gehen, Zähneputzen, Kompromisse eingehen — und trotzdem ist die Kacke am Dampfen. Fanny dagegen konnte Haare im Gesicht nicht aushalten und war störrischer als ihre Tochter. Und beide sind so: okay, vielleicht braucht es doch mehr als eine Podcastfolge, um das umzuprogrammieren, was seit 30 Jahren drin sitzt. Dann wird's tiefer. Alina war zum ersten Mal bei ihrer neuen Psychotherapeutin — und es war richtig gut. Bis auf eine Sache, die alles kurz ins Wanken gebracht hat. Fanny dagegen steckt noch fest im Vorraum der Therapie: will, braucht's, will nicht, braucht's doch nicht, ist es schlimm genug, ist es zu wenig schlimm? Ihr kennt das Gefühl, müde Muddis. Schickt eure MOMSPLAINING-Geschichten an fanny@mamaleisa.de, damit Fanny und Alina sie hier besprechen und judgen. Du bist schwanger und fühlst dich gerade überfordert, unsicher oder allein?

Lotta und Konrad sind seit elf Jahren zusammen, haben drei Kinder, waren zwei Jahre in den USA – und kehren zurück in ein Leben, das sie fast vergessen hatten. Im Ausland waren sie ein eingespieltes Team. Dort gab es keine fremden Erwartungen, keine Familienlogistik, kein Funktionieren für andere. Zurück in Deutschland greift alles wieder: Lottas Rolle als älteste Schwester, die Verfügbarkeit für die Familie, der Mental Load, der sich unmerklich auf Lottas Schultern verschiebt.Zwei Jahre autark und dann der Realitätsclash Im Ausland war alles klarer. Jetzt ist Lotta wieder die, die sich um alle und alles kümmert – Kinder, Geschwister, Haushalt. Konrad arbeitet, kommt nach Hause, ist trotzdem nicht ganz da. Und Lotta fragt sich: Wo bin ich eigentlich noch?Der Moment, in dem alles rauskommt Lotta benennt, was sie so lange runtergeschluckt hat: Sie fühlt sich wie eine Alleinerziehende. Nicht gesehen. Nicht auf Augenhöhe. Eric fragt nach ihrem Bedürfnis darunter – und das ist eines, das sie schon als Kind kannte: selbstbestimmt sein.Ein alter Vertrauensbruch, der noch immer sitzt Eine Situation in ihrer zweiten Schwangerschaft hat Lotta nie ganz verziehen: Konrad hatte sie damals im Stich gelassen. Noch heute arbeitet dieses Erlebnis in ihr. Und Eric macht deutlich, wie sehr dieser ungelöste Schmerz ihre Entscheidungen immer noch lenkt und warum Verzeihen vor allem ihr selbst helfen würde.Das Stroke Game: loben, gesehen werden, vertrauen Eric lässt Lotta und Konrad einander loben: sich selbst loben und sich ein Lob erbitten. Was banal klingt, ist präzise: Konrad wünscht sich Vertrauen. Lotta ringt damit und sagt es trotzdem. Dreimal.Erics TippsSelbst die bessere Partnerin, der bessere Partner werden – anstatt darauf zu warten, dass der/die andere sich verändert. Der Weg ist das Relevante, nicht das Ziel. Statt zurück zu wollen zum “Damals”: lieber fragen, wie eine neue Version von uns beiden aussehen könnte.Alle Folgen vom Podcast und der TV-Doku: https://www.ndr.de/paartherapie Ihr wollt euch als Paar bewerben? paartherapie@ndr.de ©NDR 2 Host und Autorin: Maria Richter Paartherapeut: Eric Hegmann Formatidee: Kathrin Lindemann, Nele Pasch Formatentwicklung: Kira Drössler, Laura Leick Distribution: Nina Wietholz, Max Rohloff Gäst:innen-Management: Emma Leandra BärenzSound-Design: Isola Music & Warner Chappell Production MusicSprecher: Markus Kästle Produktion: Oliver Kleist Redaktion: Sascha SommerPodcast-Tipp: „Herz ohne Filter“: https://1.ard.de/herz-ohne-filter-cp(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:58) Zwei Jahre autark und dann der Realitätsclash(00:21:03) Der Moment, in dem alles rauskommt(00:32:22) Ein alter Vertrauensbruch, der noch immer sitzt(00:42:48) Das Stroke Game: loben, gesehen werden, vertrauen(00:55:56) Erics Tipps

In deze aflevering duiken we in een van de grootste gelukslekken in moderne relaties: de scheve taakverdeling in het huishouden. De schrijfster van de brief loopt vast in een eindeloze cirkel van bekvechten met haar partner over de was, stofzuigen, zorgtaken en de onzichtbare mentale arbeid. Hoe kan ze dit doorbreken? In deze aflevering bespreken we: De impact van het 'onzichtbare werk' en hoe dit je persoonlijke welzijn ondermijnt. Waarom het bespreken van de taakverdeling vaak uitloopt op defensief gedrag en beschuldigingen. De rol van sociale conditionering: hoe we onbewust de patronen van onze ouders kopiëren. De 'Gelukslekken-analyse': hoe je het gesprek verschuift van een aanval op je partner naar een ontwerp van een huishouden waarin jouw geluk weer kan stromen. Boekentip

Du weißt eigentlich genau, was sich in deinem Leben ändern müsste. Du liest Bücher, hörst Podcasts, machst vielleicht sogar Coachings – und trotzdem stehst du irgendwann immer wieder am selben Punkt. Du fällst zurück in die alten Muster und die gleiche Erschöpfung. Warum ist das so? Ich kann dir versichern: Es liegt weder an deinem Willen noch an deiner Disziplin oder deinem Mindset. Das Problem sitzt tiefer – es sitzt direkt in deinem Körper.In dieser Folge blicken wir unter die Oberfläche von scheiternden Vorsätzen. Du erfährst, dass die Hauptaufgabe deines Nervensystems darin besteht, dich am Leben zu erhalten. Dafür scannt es permanent die Umgebung und stuft alles Neue und Unbekannte – selbst die positivste Veränderung – erst einmal als „Gefahr“ ein. Ich erkläre dir, warum man einen Körper niemals einfach umdenken kann und warum ein stabiles Fundament im Nervensystem der einzig echte Schlüssel für spürbare Transformation ist.Das kannst du für dich aus der Folge mitnehmen:Warum dein Körper nicht mitmacht, obwohl dein Kopf schon weiter ist: Wie die uralten Schutzmechanismen deines Nervensystems stetig deine Vorsätze ausbremsen, weil dein System jede neue Gewohnheit zuerst mit Gefahr gleichsetzt.Was Prokrastination, Selbstsabotage und das ewige Zurückfallen wirklich bedeuten: Warum das Aufschieben oder das plötzliche Zweifeln kein persönliches Versagen sind, sondern dein Körper versucht, dich in der gewohnten Sicherheit zu halten.Warum Anspannung zur Heimat werden kann und was das mit Veränderung zu tun hat: Wie chronischer Stress zu deinem vermeintlich sicheren Hafen wird und weshalb sich echte Ruhe auf dem Sofa für dein System paradoxerweise oft unruhig und falsch anfühlt.Was sich verändert, wenn dein Nervensystem anfängt, sich sicherer zu fühlen: Wie ein reguliertes System dafür sorgt, dass neue Verhaltensweisen – wie das klare Setzen von Grenzen – plötzlich ganz leicht und ohne Herzklopfen aus dir herauskommen. Schaffe dir ein Fundament aus echter Sicherheit und erfahre, wie sich dein Leben verändert, wenn dein Körper nicht mehr dauerhaft unter Spannung steht.

A friend came over the other day. She'd just done a week on the Sunshine Coast with her three kids, the whole pack-up by herself. We were sitting at my kitchen table doing that thing where you're laughing and crying at the same time. She couldn't get her kids to put the bins out because they were glued to their iPads. I said yep, same. The deeper problem isn't just the iPad. It's that someone pulled every single support structure out from under us, handed us a screen, and then put the guilt on top.What We CoverThe Sunshine Coast kitchen table moment — the bins, the iPads, the laughing-cryingThe Christmas holidays Minecraft trap — how the rules got relaxed in December and what's still happening in MayThree things that have completely changed about parenting in the last 40 years that nobody updated us onWhy mums in 1990 weren't negotiating screen time — and what they had for free that we just don'tThe anticipatory regulation load — why parenting an ADHD child is three jobs stacked on top of each other, not oneThe dopamine input the world used to supply — and what happens when you take the iPad without replacing itWhy every screen time recommendation contradicts every other one, and the researchers fight each other publiclyWe are the first generation parenting through this.

What happens when cancer caregiving turns you into the translator for everyone else? In this episode, Charlotte continues the Mental Load of Cancer Caregiving series by naming the hidden labor of receiving medical information and then constantly reshaping it for the person you love, for family members, for friends, and for the systems around you. She explores why that ongoing translation can leave caregivers exhausted, lonely, and strangely unseen, and how repeatedly giving everyone else a manageable version of the truth can delay your own emotional response.

Sometimes the hardest clutter to let go of is not the thing itself.It is the version of ourselves we hoped it would help us become.The yoga mat for the daily practice we imagined. The craft supplies for the creative afternoons we thought we would have. The kitchen gadget, the unread books, the course, the clothes, the resources, the hobby equipment, all waiting for a future life that may not actually fit who we are today.And that can feel surprisingly emotional.Because aspirational clutter is often tied to hope, good intentions, identity, and the pressure to become a better, calmer, more organized version of ourselves.In this episode, you'll learn:What aspirational clutter is and why it can feel so difficult to declutterWhy we often hold onto items for an imagined future version of ourselvesHow things like craft supplies, fitness equipment, books, kitchen gadgets, courses, and clothes can become identity clutterWhy keeping something does not bring back the money you spent on itHow aspirational clutter can contribute to clutter stress, emotional overwhelm, mental overload, and the feeling that you are constantly falling short The difference between genuinely wanting to do something and liking the idea of being someone who does itTwo simple decluttering questions that can provide instant clarity when you are struggling with decluttering guilt Why motherhood, neurodivergence, self-improvement goals, and changing interests can all create their own unique forms of family clutter and personal clutter How letting go of unused items can allow someone else to benefit from themIf you have shelves, drawers, boxes, or cupboards filled with things for a future version of yourself, this episode is an invitation to look at them with honesty and compassion.Because life changes. Priorities shift. And sometimes the things we once hoped for no longer fit the season of life we are in now.Here's to making space for who you are today,CarolineThanks for listening!

Summer is almost here, and for many of us, the garage is overflowing, the closets are packed, the kids' artwork is piling up and the mental load of managing it all feels heavier than ever.In this episode, Andryanna explores the concept of Swedish Death Cleaning and why this decluttering philosophy is about so much more than getting rid of stuff before you die. It's about reducing stress, decision fatigue, guilt and the invisible burden of managing things that no longer serve your life.From sentimental clutter and kids' keepsakes to Facebook Marketplace piles and "just in case" items, this conversation will help you rethink what you're holding onto and why.In this episode:• What Swedish Death Cleaning actually is• The connection between clutter, stress, and mental load• Why we hold onto things long after we've stopped using them• How guilt, identity and indecision keep us stuck• The difference between sentimental clutter and meaningful memories• Simple ways to start decluttering without getting overwhelmed• Yard sale and Facebook Marketplace tips• What to let go of before summer arrivesCONNECT WITH ANDRYANNA:Get your copy of The Juggle is Real: Authentic Self-Care Planner Vol. 2 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ On ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hello@andryanna.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Andryanna.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for blogs, giveaways, workshops, tools, resources and more.Keywords: Swedish Death Cleaning, mental load, decluttering, clutter and stress, decision fatigue, organizing, home organization, sentimental clutter, Facebook Marketplace, yard sale tips, simplifying life, emotional clutter, motherhood and mental load, organizing tips, Margareta Magnusson, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, summer organizing, The Juggle is Real

Kennst du dieses Gefühl von Mental Load, dass du dir denkst: „Ich bräuchte einen Tag mit 48 Stunden“ – und gleichzeitig spürst du, dass du längst über deiner Grenze bist? In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, warum das oft kein Zeitproblem ist, sondern ein System aus inneren Antreibern und fehlenden Strukturen im Außen – und wie du wieder Orientierung findest, ohne dich selbst zu verlieren.

A lot of us are tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. We're doing the things — the work, the list, the showing up — and still, something is pulling at us. A low hum of unfinished. For years, Robin Quinn Keehn thought that hum was a personal failing: not disciplined enough, not organized enough. It wasn't any of that. It was Open Loops. This is the backbone episode of the show — the one to send anyone who's new. Robin defines an Open Loop plainly (a commitment, promise, or agreement that's unfinished, incomplete, or outdated, quietly draining your time, energy, and peace), then walks through the three kinds almost all of us carry: Relational Loops with other people, Self-Loops — the promises we break to ourselves — and Unspoken Brokens, the things that needed to be said and never were. You'll hear why loops stay open (it's avoidance, not discipline), what they actually cost — especially what broken self-promises do to your confidence — and the three ways to close any loop: end it, evolve it, or recommit to it, on purpose. This is also where Robin introduces the free 5-Day Detox Your To-Do List Challenge, starting June 29. In this episode: What an Open Loop actually is — and why it stays quiet The three kinds: Relational Loops, Self-Loops, and Unspoken Brokens Why broken promises to yourself quietly erode your confidence Why open loops are an avoidance problem, not a discipline problem The real cost: time, energy, peace — and belief in yourself The three ways to close any loop: end it, evolve it, recommit to it An invitation to the free 5-Day Detox Your To-Do List Challenge (starts June 29) If this episode resonated with you, you might enjoy our free People Skillz community — a structured space to practice steadier, more intentional communication. We also created a short Communication Patterns Quiz to help you identify how you respond under pressure. You'll find both here.

Hallo und herzlich willkommen bei 50 über 50, dem Podcast für die zweite Lebenshälfte und gesundes Älterwerden. Wir sprechen heute über Wechseljahre, Hormone, Longevity, mentale Gesundheit und Selbstfürsorge so offen wie noch nie. Frauen über 50 sind sichtbarer geworden – in den Medien, in der Arbeitswelt und auch in gesellschaftlichen Debatten. Und doch gibt es ein Thema, das selbst heute noch erstaunlich oft ausgeblendet wird: weibliche Lust. Was passiert eigentlich mit unserer Sexualität, wenn wir älter werden? Warum fühlen sich viele Frauen auf die körperlichen und emotionalen Veränderungen der Lebensmitte so schlecht vorbereitet? Und weshalb scheint unsere Gesellschaft noch immer Schwierigkeiten damit zu haben, Frauen jenseits der 40 oder 50 als sinnliche, begehrende und begehrenswerte Wesen wahrzunehmen? In dieser Folge wollen wir genau dort hinschauen, wo es oft still wird. Wir sprechen über Lust und Libido, über Hormone und Nervensysteme, über Mental Load und Langzeitbeziehungen. Über Scham, Körperbilder und gesellschaftliche Erwartungen. Aber auch über Freiheit, Selbstbestimmung und die Chance, die eigene Sexualität in der zweiten Lebenshälfte vielleicht ganz neu zu entdecken. Zu Gast ist Dr. Vivien Karl. Unternehmerin, Sexualwissenschaftlerin und eine der spannendsten Stimmen, wenn es darum geht, weibliche Sexualität wissenschaftlich fundiert und gleichzeitig enttabuisiert zu betrachten. Mit ihr sprechen wir darüber, warum Lust so viel mehr ist als Sex, weshalb viele Frauen ihre sinnlichste Phase erst später im Leben erleben – und was passieren kann, wenn wir aufhören, uns ständig durch die Augen anderer zu betrachten. Eine Folge über Begehren, Selbstverbundenheit und die Frage, wie wir nicht nur älter, sondern auch sinnlicher, freier und selbstbestimmter werden können. Herzlich willkommen zu 50 über 50. Heute mit Dr. Vivien Karl.

Why are women so exhausted? Professor Leah Ruppanner explains the invisible mental load women carry every day - from planning and organising to worrying and responsibility-holding. We explore the eight types of mental load, why women become the default managers of family life, the impact of social judgment and gender expectations, and practical ways to reclaim energy for what matters most. A validating, research-backed conversation for every working mum who feels mentally and emotionally overloaded.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Esther Bauer über ein Thema, das mich in den letzten Jahren immer mehr beschäftigt: Versorgung. Denn wie gut sind wir eigentlich wirklich versorgt — mitten in einem stressigen Alltag, zwischen Mutterschaft, Arbeit, Mental Load und ständigem Funktionieren? Wir sprechen über Omega 3, Supplementierung, moderne Ernährung, Zellgesundheit und darüber, warum viele Menschen trotz „gesunder Ernährung“ oft nicht die Nährstoffe bekommen, die ihr Körper eigentlich braucht. Aber diese Folge geht noch über Ernährung hinaus. Es geht auch um Verbindung. Zu unserem Körper. Zu unserem Energielevel. Und darum, wieder bewusster wahrzunehmen, was uns wirklich stärkt. Eine ruhige, ehrliche und gleichzeitig sehr inspirierende Folge. ✨

Kathy Weber ist im Haus – und poliert uns direkt den Hintern. Windel wechseln? Nein. Zähne putzen? Auch nein. Aus dem Zimmer kommen? Bloß nicht. Fanny und Alina haben Kathy Weber zu Gast, Elternberaterin, Bestseller-Autorin und die Frau, die ihr schon seit Ewigkeiten in die Kommentare getippt habt. Mit Nachdruck. Ihr hattet recht, ist ja gut. Kathy bricht runter, was hinter dem ewigen Nein steckt, warum die erste Autonomiephase nicht Trotzphase heißen sollte, was ein Siebenjähriger, der sich die Zähne nicht selbst putzen will, eigentlich gerade wirklich braucht und warum der lustige Puppibär beim Windelwechseln womöglich kompletter Machtmissbrauch ist. Uff. Alina fühlt sich ertappt. Fanny läuft durch den Flur und sagt Dinge. Und Kathy sagt in aller Ruhe: Ja, ich weiß. Das kenne ich auch. Ihr dürft trotzdem. Dazu: Wackelzahnpubertät erklärt, Manipulation in all ihren Formen, warum Belohnung kurzfristig funktioniert und langfristig wehtut, und was passiert, wenn Kinder endlich Erfahrungen sammeln dürfen. Mit langen Fingernägeln zum Beispiel. Für alle müden Muddis, die gerade im Badezimmer stehen und innerlich schreien: Diese Folge ist für euch. Kathys Lesung zum neuen Buch ist am 20.06. im Säälchen am Holzmarkt Kathys Bücher: „Mein Kind macht, was es will" (erste & zweite Autonomiephase) und „Ich mach, was ich will" (Teenagerjahre – und ja, Kathy legt sich nackig aufs Auto, damit das ein Spiegel-Bestseller wird).

Cassiano Surek, CTO at Beyond, joins host KJ to explore how artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping the workforce, enterprise structure, and even how we shop. Cassiano argues that the era of hyper-specialized talent is giving way to competent generalists who can orchestrate AI tools across the full stack, and that the companies embracing this shift are already pulling ahead. The conversation spans team architecture, the flattening of corporate hierarchies, the dawn of agentic commerce, and a surprising personal project built to lighten the mental load of moms everywhere. Four Key Takeaways: 3:39 — Curiosity is the core driver of innovation. It won't always pay off, but the compounding of near-wins over time is what ultimately leads to breakthroughs. 12:36 — Corporate hierarchies are contracting dramatically. AI enables fewer, more versatile people to do more, making deep layers of management increasingly obsolete. 17:26 — The workforce is shifting from deep specialists to competent generalists, people who can work across the full solution stack using AI tooling, unlocking a new era of entrepreneurial creativity. 17:26 — Agentic commerce is already here. AI agents will soon shop on your behalf, fundamentally disrupting how merchants, brands, and consumers interact, possibly by this Christmas. Quote of the Show (12:37):"A success is made of many almost quasi successes... It's an endless journey of exploration." — Cassiano Surek Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Does your brain feel crowded? That's mental load—the constant planning, remembering, worrying, and anticipating that never really switches off. Carrying everything in your head wears you down. And if you're a mom or the one everyone relies on, it's the invisible list that never ends—meals, schedules, everyone else's needs, and everything running in the background.Ally is a Meditation and Mindfulness teacher from the School of Positive Transformation, an ICF-certified executive coach, and a professional organizer.

Leah Ruppanner is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Melbourne and Founder of LightenLab.She is the author of the new book: Drained: Reduce Your Mental Load to Do Less and Be More and Motherlands: How States Push Mothers Out of Employment. She has a PhD in Sociology and has spent decades researching and publishing over 70 peer-reviewed articles on gender, work and family. Today we discuss: her new book  Drained: Reduce Your Mental Load to Do Less and Be More. The term mental load has become more familiar in recent years, but the popular understanding of the concept often reduces it down to managing a list of household chores and logistics. In the book, Leah reveals that for women, mental load actually goes much deeper: It's a complex form of emotional thinking that is invisible, boundaryless, and enduring. In Drained, she outlines the eight distinct types of mental load and highlights what makes them so uniquely heavy for women.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why does choosing dinner, returning a call, or deciding what to do next sometimes feel impossible during cancer caregiving? In this episode, Charlotte continues the Mental Load of Cancer Caregiving series by naming the decision drain: the cognitive and emotional exhaustion that comes from making high-stakes choices all day long with incomplete information and no clear right answer. She explores why caregivers can end up depleted, stuck, and unable to land even small decisions by afternoon, and offers a practical framework for creating decision boundaries so your brain does not have to carry every choice at full intensity all at once.

Feeding our families is a never-ending task, one that can weigh heavily on both our minds and wallets. I used to feel overwhelmed by the constant need to plan, shop, and cook meals, but I've discovered a few strategies that have transformed our dinner routine into something manageable and even enjoyable. By keeping an essentials list, planning and shopping biweekly, and focusing on simple repeat meals, I'm not only saving money but also finding more peace around mealtime. These approaches have allowed me to reduce stress and spend more quality time with my family, enjoying meals rather than dreading them.

What if the reason self-care feels impossible isn't laziness, lack of time, or poor planning — but the invisible, never-ending mental load that mums carry every single day? In this episode of Mucked Up My Self Care, Linda and Jill get real about the weight of the mental load: the planning, scheduling, remembering, and organising that keeps the family ship afloat — and quietly drowns our capacity for self-care. From pregnancy brain to tea towels that seem to multiply on the bench, this conversation is warm, honest, and deeply relatable for any mum who has ever felt like her brain just won't switch off.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the mental load is a self-care crisis — and the research that backs it upHow mums carry the majority of household mental load tasks and what that actually costs usWhy awareness of the mental load isn't always enough to change it — and what the real gap isWhat it looks like to gently let go of mental load tasks, even just for a seasonHow to start sharing the load with a partner, your kids, or your wider support networkWhy passing off even one small task out loud can be a powerful first stepThe role society and systems play in keeping mums overwhelmed — and why it's not your faultHow to identify the one piece of your mental load you've been silently carrying aloneThe mental load doesn't take a day off — but you deserve a break from carrying it all alone. Whether you're deep in pregnancy, parenting solo, or navigating a household where the invisible work still somehow lands on your shoulders, this episode is your reminder: you are not failing. You are carrying too much. Jill and Linda invite you to start small — name the one thing you've been silently managing, and consider who else could hold a piece of it. That conversation? That's self-care too.Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!

ADHS, Autismus, Medikamente, Schule, Wutanfälle, Schamgefühle und dieses Gefühl, mit dem eigenen Kind irgendwie ständig „zu viel“ zu sein. Fanny und Alina haben Isa zu Gast, Autorin von „Anders glücklich“, und die Folge fühlt sich an wie eine riesige Erkenntnis-Kettenreaktion. Warum fallen Aufgaben schwer, obwohl das Kind eigentlich alles kann? Warum eskalieren manche Situationen sofort komplett? Und warum verstehen sich neurodivergente Menschen oft gegenseitig einfach besser? Alina spricht sehr offen über ihre eigene ADHS-Diagnose als Kind, Medikamente und das Gefühl, jahrelang falsch eingeschätzt worden zu sein. Isa erklärt, wie ADHS und Autismus im Alltag aussehen können, warum viele Kinder ständig anecken und weshalb Verständnis manchmal mehr verändert als jede perfekte Erziehungsmethode. Zwischendurch geht's um Fahrradstühle unterm Esstisch, Trampoline neben den Hausaufgaben und die Frage, ob eigentlich die Kinder das Problem sind oder manchmal einfach das ganze System.

I'm closing out season 5 by naming a common marriage stressor: resentment that grows when one person carries the invisible load. I'm sharing my “offices” system that saved our teamwork in business and later brought clarity, relief, and more connection at home. • resentment driven by carrying responsibility alone rather than the amount of work • how unclear ownership creates chaos, dropped balls, and constant stress • the “offices” approach to assign big responsibilities rather than scattered tasks • a real-life example using kids' sports to define full ownership and reduce tension • Eve Rodsky's Fair Play framework and the three parts of any task • why delegating execution is not the same as shared ownership of the mental load • questions that invite teamwork instead of scorekeeping and defensiveness • a summer practice list: compassionate curiosity, closing tabs, friendship, repair I want you to sit down together and make a list of all the recurring responsibilities in your household. Then get to work on assigning ownership of those responsibilities.If you have any questions about coaching and how it can bless your marriage, please email me:  moni@monicatanner.com or book a call here:  https://monicatanner.com/call.See you in August!Send us Fan Mail

Why does cancer caregiving make it so hard to remember simple things, stay focused, or feel fully present in everyday life? In this episode, Charlotte continues the Mental Load of Cancer Caregiving series by naming what cognitive overload feels like in real time: forgetting why you walked into a room, rereading the same paragraph, losing track of conversations, and feeling like your brain is not cooperating in ordinary moments. She explains why this is not a personal failure but the cost of running a caregiving system in the background of daily life, and offers a small practice to help interrupt the spiral when the fog hits.

When I first became a KonMari consultant, I thought I knew exactly what I was helping people do.Clear the piles. Organize the cupboards. Create better systems. Make homes feel calmer and easier to live in.But I quickly began to notice that the process of decluttering and tidying up was bringing up questions, emotions, and realizations that went far beyond the physical stuff.Because clutter is rarely only about what we can see.It can be the unfinished decisions, the mental load, the pressure to keep everything together, and the feeling that your home is constantly asking something from you.So today, I'm taking you back to the beginning of my journey as a home organizer and sharing how my understanding of home organizing has changed over time.In this episode, you'll learn:Why letting go of clutter brings up more than most people expectHow the KonMari Method changed the way I looked at my own homeWhat physical clutter can reveal about your mental load, emotions, and everyday stressWhat emotional clutter really is and why it's often harder to address than the physical messWhy traditional home organization advice can leave people feeling like they are failingWhat it really means to create systems that support you on hard days, not only your best daysWhy decluttering is about creating a calmer, more manageable clutter free home that works for real lifeHow support, community, and small sustainable progress can make the process feel much less overwhelmingIf you've been searching for clutter relief, sustainable progress, and a calm home, this episode is your invitation to finally build a space that supports you.Here's to homes that hold up on the hard days,Caroline 

This week on The Running Wine Mom, Samantha sits down with New York Times bestselling author Annabel Monaghan for an honest conversation about motherhood, caregiving, burnout, love, and the invisible mental load women carry every single day. Annabel shares the inspiration behind her newest novel, Dolly All the Time — a story about a single mom juggling work, family, financial stress, and caregiving while slowly learning how to stop carrying everything alone.

Women carry most of the mental load at home, the remembering, planning, organizing, and anticipating everyone else's needs. For years, Sociologist Dr Leah Ruppanner from the University of Melbourne has researched the invisible work that keeps family life running. She says the endless to-do list is not the heaviest part, it's the emotional thinking and constant effort to make sure everyone is happy and able to follow their dreams that takes its toll. Dr Ruppanner helps women understand where their time and attention is really going and offers practical ways to ease the constant pressure in her new book, Drained: Reduce Your Mental Load To Do Less And Be More.

Send Us A Question You Want ON AIR!In this episode of She Cultivates, I'm having an honest conversation about something many women experience but don't always know how to explain  feeling mentally and emotionally overwhelmed even when life looks good on the outside.Sometimes you can be in a season of answered prayers, growth, new opportunities, healthy relationships, or exciting change… and still feel anxious, disconnected, exhausted, or emotionally heavy.This episode is about the mental load we quietly carry in seasons of becoming — the pressure to keep up, hold everything together, process change, and still remain grateful through it all.In this episode, I share:Why good seasons can still feel emotionally heavyThe mental load many women silently carryFeeling overwhelmed during seasons of growth and transitionThe pressure to always appear grateful or “okay”Navigating emotional exhaustion while life is moving forwardLearning to process your season instead of perform through itWhat has helped me slow down, stay grounded, and care for my mental healthThis episode is a reminder that you are allowed to feel both grateful and overwhelmed at the same time. Growth, transition, and becoming all carry emotional weight — and you don't have to pretend you're unaffected by it.You're not failing because you feel tired.You're human, and you're carrying a lot.Take this episode as your reminder to slow down, check in with yourself, and give yourself permission to process the season you're in. PODCAST LIVE EARLY BIRD TICKET (USE CODE CULTIVATE15)https://www.shecultivatesorl.com/event-details/she-cultivates-podcast-liveSave 15% off your Skin Deep Connect Cards using link below https://shop.theskindeep.com/SHECULTIVATESORLWould love to hear from you!

Thursday May 14th, 2026: There's a part of the mental load that no one really talks about… your own thoughts. The constant questioning. The nonstop noise. The invisible checklist running through your brain 24/7.In today's solo episode, I talk about a bit of an epiphany I had recently: why am I working so much? Somewhere along the way, I slipped into full workaholic mode and started prioritizing productivity over the things I'm constantly stressed about “neglecting”, home cooked meals, organizing the house, quality time with family, maintaining friendships, slowing down, and actually enjoying my life.So this summer? I'm embracing a bare minimum summer. Doing what truly needs to get done and letting the rest go. Because I only get one summer where Milo is 7 years old, and honestly? This might be my favourite age yet. The BEST. I don't want to miss it because I was too busy answering emails or chasing productivity for no reason.I also get into the exhausting mental gymnastics of motherhood and womanhood… the constant second guessing, guilt, overthinking, and pressure to optimize everything. Why does my brain work like this? Why does it feel like moms carry around so much unnecessary noise in our heads? And why do I know for a fact my husband is not spiraling over whether we've done enough reading practice this week?If your brain also feels like 47 tabs are open at all times, this episode is for you.

You are not overwhelmed because you're bad at balance. You're overwhelmed because you're carrying an entire operating system in your head for running a home and caring for kids, and no one ever taught you how to turn it off. You've split the tasks, had the talks, been very clear about “I just need more help.” And still, you're the one remembering, anticipating and managing everything.This isn't about who's doing more, it's about who's mentally running the entire show. And if that's you?? Of course you're exhausted. In this episode, we're blowing up the biggest lie we've all been fed: That the mental load is a communication problem. It's not. It's an infrastructure problem. And once you see it, you cannot unsee it, which is exactly why this conversation is so crucial.Deena sits down with Kelly Hubbell, founder of Sage Haus, mom of three, and an accidental genius who built a solution most of us didn't even know was possible, to break down:• Why even “equal” partnerships still leave moms carrying ~70% of the mental load• The 5 invisible layers running in your brain 24/7 (this alone will blow your mind, and unlock real change)• Why “just tell me what to do” is actually adding to your exhaustion• The real reason you feel burnt out - even if you have childcare• The exact shift that takes you from constant resentment and overwhelm to *actual* reliefAnd then, we push into the uncomfortable truth: What if the answer isn't doing more… or communicating better?? What if the answer is… you stop doing it all?? Not in a reckless way, but in a new, radically supported way. We're talking about a level of support that doesn't just check tasks off a list, it removes the invisible weight from your brain. The kind that gives you hours back every single week, and lets you actually be with your kids instead of managing life around them - one that shifts your relationship, your energy, your entire home.And yes, we explicitly tackle every elephant in the room: The cost, the guilt, the “this feels indulgent - is this too much?” spiral. (If that thought just hit you, you need to listen to this episode.) Because by the end, you're going to realize something: You were never supposed to carry all of this alone. Press play if you're ready to stop managing everything yourself, and finally experience what it feels like to be fully supported at home.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
