“You just need to ask for help!” Sure, sounds easy—until you actually try to do it. This week, we’re tackling the real reasons setting boundaries is hard and why the mental load still falls disproportionately on women. My guest, Dr. Kat Kaeni, is a perinatal mental health-certified psychologist and host of the podcast Mom & Mind. She’s here to break down how our conditioning keeps us stuck in burnout mode and what we can do to shift out of it.

We talk about the mental weight of keeping everything running and why self-compassion and boundaries aren’t just fluffy concepts—they’re essential for protecting your peace and wellbeing.

What you’ll hear:

  • The truth about boundaries and why they’re so hard to keep (5:55)
  • How shame and self-compassion affect mental health (20:38)
  • Strategies to help you improve your overall mental well-being, today (30:25)
  • Why the mental load tends to fall on women and what to do about it (33:08)
