In this episode, we are diving deep into the mental load of motherhood.

What goes on inside a mother's mind on a daily basis is something you never really get until you become a mom yourself.

We talk about:

• The mental load of daily tasks
• How sometimes it prevents us from asking for help because sometimes it is easier to do things on your own
• Some of the mental load we have put on our selves and why setting boundaries and not feeling like you need to "save" your partner from having to figure out a task on their own can get in your way
• Tips and tricks for lightening the mental load.
