115. The Mental Load and Tips for Feeling Less Overwhelmed
Description
As women, we often become the invisible organizers of everyone else’s lives — managing households, careers, relationships, and emotions — all while trying to find space for ourselves. This invisible labor, known as the mental load, can feel relentless.
But after 40, that load often gets even heavier. Midlife brings new challenges: aging parents who need more care, growing children who need less but different kinds of support, shifting hormones, and careers that demand balance and reinvention. The result? A constant mental juggling act that leaves many women exhausted, overwhelmed, and stretched too thin.
In this episode, Tiffany unpacks why the mental load intensifies with age — and how to start lightening it. We’ll explore practical, compassionate ways to reduce the overwhelm:
- Setting boundaries that protect your time and energy.
- Letting go of perfectionism and embracing “good enough.”
- Offloading responsibilities at home and work without guilt.
