As moms, we are often the ones managing the bulk of the visible - and invisible - tasks required to manage a household. When we take on too much, it’s a recipe for burnout and resentment. In this episode I’m joined with Chantel Mila, whose book The Fair Share: The Life-Changing Four-Week Program to Ease Your Mental Load provides a roadmap for making the invisible tasks visible and creating sustainable home systems that involve the whole family.

Chantel Mila, also known as Mama Mila, has become a household name for her creative and practical approach to home and lifestyle. Since 2020, she has captivated over 4 million followers with her recipes, home hacks and viral #mamamilastips series. Chantel collaborates with global brands and her expertise extends beyond social media as a bestselling author of The Dream Clean and a frequent guest on The Morning Show, The Today Show and Sunrise.
