  • What the “mental load” really means and why it falls so heavily on moms

  • How it affects your emotional regulation and ability to be present with your kids

  • Why kids internalize the stress they see modeled at home

  • 3 proven strategies to release the overwhelm: brain dump & delegate, set boundaries, and create visible systems
