The Mental Load of Motherhood and Why Moms Are Expected to Do it All
Description
Society tells moms that we need to do it all. We're the default parent, keeping the family functioning. While also running a business or managing our own career. This leads to exhaustion, overwhelm, and burnout. And it's not true. This can be changed, no matter how old your kid(s) are. Things shift when you start having conversations with your partner about everything it takes to run a household. In this episode, we talk to Valerie about productivity ideas to delegate, prioritize, and change things to reduce the overwhelm in our lives.
