My Psychiatrist’s Take on Mental Load of a Working Mom - E12

Are you drowning in the mental load of a working mom - making your son’s lunch while mentally rehearsing your 9 AM client call, calculating dinner plans, and trying to remember if you sent that follow-up email - all at the same time?

If that scenario sounds painfully familiar, you’re not alone. As a psychiatrist who works with overwhelmed mom entrepreneurs, I can tell you that you’re definitely not broken - but the mental load of a working mom is more complex than anyone’s talking about.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into why traditional productivity advice fails the multitasking working mom and what actually works when motherhood overwhelming meets business demands.

What You’ll Learn:

★ Why your mental load checklist keeps growing no matter how organized you get

★ The brain science behind why multitasking working mom strategies backfire

★ Why your time management working mom daily schedule isn’t the problem - your approach is

★ How to finally ignore distractions that matter vs. ones that don’t (hint: it’s not what you think)

★ The one question that transforms how you handle moms mental load forever

This isn’t another episode about better systems or time management hacks. This is about understanding something fundamental that productivity gurus won’t tell you.
