The Mental Load of Motherhood (and Other Things, Probably)

Send us a text

In this episode of What We’re Not Taking To Our Graves, we’re unpacking the mental load of motherhood—and other things, probably. Being a mom is one of the most rewarding experiences, but the unspoken balancing act of emotional labor can feel overwhelming. From the mental weight we often don’t even realize we’re carrying, to the guilt, pressure, and unspoken expectations that come with it, we cover it all.

Join us as we share our experiences with the mental load of motherhood, co-parenting after divorce, and what it’s like to navigate sharing the parenting load with partners who aren’t biological parents—plus everything in between.
