Parenting is more than just the obvious tasks—it’s also the invisible mental load that weighs us down. From remembering appointments to keeping track of snacks, homework, and emotions, it feels like there’s always something to manage. In this episode, I’m sharing how overwhelming this can be and how it often feels like we’re carrying it all in our heads without a break.

But here’s the thing: you don’t have to carry this load alone, and it’s not sustainable to keep pushing through. Today I’m offering four key shifts that can lighten the load and help you create a more manageable routine that works for your family.

If the never-ending mental juggling is leaving you drained, you're not alone—and this episode is here to help you navigate it. Join me as I walk you through small changes that can make a big difference, and start creating space for yourself in the process.
