đď¸ The Invisible Load: What Moms Are Carrying (and How to Put It Down)
A powerful episode for overwhelmed, emotionally overloaded, and beautifully human moms.
Hey friendâthis oneâs for your heart.
If you've ever felt emotionally exhausted, mentally cluttered, or like you're holding 1,000 things in your head at once... youâre not alone. In todayâs episode, weâre unpacking something so many moms carry quietly and constantly: the invisible load.
Weâre talking about the unseen mental, emotional, and cognitive labor that mothersâespecially Type B momsâcarry every single day. From remembering dentist appointments to managing everyoneâs moods and never-ending to-do lists, the weight is real⌠and it's heavy.
⨠This episode is your permission slip to set it down.
Not forever. Not perfectly. But gently. Intentionally. And with grace.
In this episode, weâll explore:
What the invisible load really is (and why it drains your energy)
The science behind mental load, emotional labor, and decision fatigue
Why Type B moms feel this more deeplyâand why you're not broken for feeling behind
Real-life examples of what invisible labor sounds like in your head (and how to name it)
How to create your own Weekly Hive Resetâa gentle ritual to brain dump, delegate, and protect your peace
The power of Decision Filters and saying ânoâ with confidence
Why âgood enoughâ systems are better for your brain than chasing perfection
The truth about rest, boundaries, and guiltâand why putting the load down doesnât mean youâre failing
