Description
🎙️ Episode 62 – Building Your Village with Ajantha Suriyanarayanan
In this episode, host Hannah Morgan talks with Ajantha Suriyanarayanan, behavioral researcher, product strategist, and founder of Mental Load — an AI-powered life management tool designed to lighten the cognitive burden of daily parenting and household tasks.
Ajantha shares her journey from corporate burnout to building a tech solution that helps women delegate more effectively, reduce stress, and reclaim mental space. Together, they explore what it truly means to “build your village,” why asking for help isn’t weakness, and how rethinking delegation can make life more sustainable.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- The “mental load” is real — and often invisible — but it can be shared.
- Delegation shouldn’t require project management; it should reduce your burden.
- Asking for support isn’t failure — it’s how families thrive.
- Fear of judgment keeps many women from leaning on their village, even when it exists.

- “He’s not babysitting — he’s parenting.”
- “Delegation shouldn’t add more work. It should take the task off your mind.”
