Episode 17: Mental Load and Mom Rage - It's Not Your Fault You Snapped!

In this episode, Christy and Kelly rip the lid off the mental load - that invisible, never-ending checklist living rent-free in most moms' heads. From school emails that require a PhD to interpret, to the pure rage blackout that comes when someone hands you a wrapper and says, “Here, Mom,” while you’re holding 45 pounds of pool crap — we’re covering it all.

They talk about household roles, the emotional gymnastics of trying to “stay present” while cleaning up pee (human and canine), and the difference between actual help and “just tell me what to do” energy.

This is a love letter to every woman who’s ever said “fine, I’ll do it myself,” cried in a bathroom, or rage-organized the fridge. If you’ve ever felt like you're one Zoom call away from a total meltdown, this one’s for you.

Spoiler: The mental load isn’t the chores — it’s the project management behind them. And yes, we get into that. Plus: mom guilt, perimenopause plot twists, and a very unfortunate story involving prison-grade toilet paper.
