EP 84: The Invisible Load: Why Mothers Carry It All — and How It Can Finally Change

Why do mothers carry more mental load — even when fathers are “helping”? In this episode, I unpack the neuroscience behind why moms’ brains stay always on, the social conditioning that keeps women in the “household CEO” role, and how fathers can step into shared ownership without shame or confusion. We’ll talk about:
