Episode Synopsis

Why does the mental load of motherhood feel so heavy — and so personal? In this episode, I unpack the emotional roots of mental load and why simple delegation doesn’t fix it. You’ll learn how generational silence, modern life complexities and perfectionism, as well as invisible expectations leave many mothers feeling unseen and exhausted — and how body awareness can help you reclaim clarity and calm. I walk you through a practical five-step process to externalize, evaluate, and gradually share the load without resentment or guilt. Expect a grounded, compassionate conversation that helps you release pressure and move toward shared ownership at home.For more resources go to www.bodyfulminds.com or follow on Instagram @bodyful_minds
