Do you ever sit down at the end of the day, ready to rest… and your brain instantly fires off a list of 10 more things you “should” do? Lunchboxes, laundry, school forms, birthday gifts. Suddenly you’re back up, running the household like a manager while everyone else gets to just live in it.

You’re not failing — you’re overloaded. And that invisible mental load is exactly why you feel more like the manager of your family than a mom in it.

In this episode, you’ll learn: ✔ Why being the “default parent” makes it impossible to ever fully stop ✔ The hidden shame that comes when no one sees what you do remember, but everyone notices what you don’t ✔ How science explains the mental/emotional labor moms carry — and why it’s so draining ✔ A simple Mirror question to quiet the guilt spiral and shift the lens back to you ✔ Why the undone dishes, the backpack in the hallway, or the missed form aren’t proof you’re failing — they’re proof you’re carrying an impossible load

✨ You’re not broken. You’re just overloaded. And when you shift the lens, you start to see yourself again — calm, confident, whole.
