Ep 70 | Your mental load tipping point
In this episode, I’m helping you understand your mental load and learn how to manage it effectively before it tips into mental exhaustion.
I want you to really understand your mental load, and the difference between your mental load and mental exhaustion.
In this episode, you'll discover:
What the difference is between a normal mental load and overwhelming mental exhaustion.
How to identify your own tipping point where your mental load can become too much.
Strategies to manage your mental load sustainably so it doesn't disrupt your life.
How to build and utilise your support network to help lighten your mental load.
The goal here is to equip yourself with the skills, the knowledge, and the support base around you to continually manage your mental load so that it is sustainable, within your capacity, and so that you can show up in your life as the human, as the mother, as the partner, as the colleague and as the person that you want to be without being pulled away by the mental exhaustion
So many mums out there experience mental exhaustion on an everyday basis. And I really don't want that for you.

Ep 67 | What has been living rent-free in your mind?
This episode is a reminder not to let your mind be occupied by worries and stresses that don't serve you.
This episode is inspired by the one and only, Taylor Swift. I talk about the mental clutter that has been living rent-free in your mind. Just as Tay-Tay shakes it off, I give you the tools you need to get rid of those unwanted thoughts and lighten your mental load.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to recognise what thoughts are taking up space without contributing positively to your well-being.
How you can clear out these thoughts, giving you a clearer, more focused mental state.

My girl, Taylor Swift, might not know it, but she's helped frame an important reminder and mindset shift for all of you struggling with a heavy mental load.
