140. The Invisible Load: What Moms Are Carrying (and How to Put It Down) for the Mama Who Is Burnt Out

🎙️ The Invisible Load: What Moms Are Carrying (and How to Put It Down)
A powerful episode for overwhelmed, emotionally overloaded, and beautifully human moms.

Hey friend—this one’s for your heart.

If you've ever felt emotionally exhausted, mentally cluttered, or like you're holding 1,000 things in your head at once... you’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re unpacking something so many moms carry quietly and constantly: the invisible load.

We’re talking about the unseen mental, emotional, and cognitive labor that mothers—especially Type B moms—carry every single day. From remembering dentist appointments to managing everyone’s moods and never-ending to-do lists, the weight is real… and it's heavy.

✨ This episode is your permission slip to set it down.
Not forever. Not perfectly. But gently. Intentionally. And with grace.


In this episode, we’ll explore:

  • What the invisible load really is (and why it drains your energy)

  • The science behind mental load, emotional labor, and decision fatigue

  • Why Type B moms feel this more deeply—and why you're not broken for feeling behind

  • Real-life examples of what invisible labor sounds like in your head (and how to name it)

  • How to create your own Weekly Hive Reset—a gentle ritual to brain dump, delegate, and protect your peace

  • The power of Decision Filters and saying “no” with confidence

  • Why “good enough” systems are better for your brain than chasing perfection

  • The truth about rest, boundaries, and guilt—and why putting the load down doesn’t mean you’re failing
