909: The Invisible Work That’s Exhausting Women: How to Name It, Share It, and Lighten It

Ever feel like you’re doing everything for everyone and still falling short? That’s the mental load, and it might be silently sabotaging your business, your relationships, and your sanity. Today’s guest is Dr. Morgan Cutlip: a psychologist, relationship expert, and author on a mission to help women feel whole, light, and deeply connected in all their relationships. With a PhD in psychology and a knack for translating research into real-life solutions, she’s helped hundreds of thousands of people navigate the complexities of love, family, and partnership.  Her books Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself and her upcoming title A Better Share tackle the emotional and mental responsibilities women disproportionately carry, especially when it comes to marriage, motherhood, and yes, running a business. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re burnt out even when your partner or team is “helping,” or if you’ve struggled to balance being a boss and being present at home, this conversation is for you. We’re diving into how the mental load affects your business, your boundaries, and your personal life, and what you can do to take some of that weight off. Want to go deeper?
