Description

Elyse (AUS) and Michelle (USA) pull back the curtain on the invisible mental load moms carry—endless schedules, meal plans, school forms, and everyone’s emotions—while confessing the funny, messy bits (hello, mystery music tab). Together they offer practical ways to declutter your home and calendar, train kids, ask your husband for help, and surrender the extras God never asked you to carry.


Key Takeaways (3):




  1. Declutter on purpose: stuff and schedule—fewer bins and fewer commitments calm your mind.




  2. Delegate + train: age-appropriate chores and clear instructions reduce rework and resentment.




  3. Decide your “yes”: every yes is a no to something else—ask, “Did God actually ask me to carry this?”
