A Mother's Mind Michelle Weeks

In this episode, I talk about the often overwhelming feeling of beginning something new, particularly when the stakes feel high or the task daunting.

Happy Mother’s Day!

This pep talk focuses on giving you the space to feel safe to give yourself the recognition you deserve, leading to less need for external validation.

I wanted to give you access to it today because I think it is super important for us as mothers to regularly take time out to acknowledge ourselves, to speak about how proud we are of ourselves, to give ourselves the credit that we deserve, and to do that in a way that fills our cup.

This is one of the pep talks that I have recorded and that are available to all of the A Mother's Mind Membership mothers. If you would like to know more, join the waitlist for my membership. Doors will be opening soon.

In this episode, I talk about what it looks like to share your mental load successfully, why it can be challenging, and what you can do about it. I step you through an example of this that happened in my life this week.

Something I hear so regularly in my coaching is that it is easier to just handle everything yourself, rather than spending the time explaining, having to oversee or micromanage any of those things. I also know that sometimes you may feel like your partner isn’t interested in helping.

Sharing your mental load is about being on the same page as your partner or whoever you want to share it with.

In this episode, you'll learn:


Why sharing your mental load is a long term investment for your family dynamic and in your day to day life.
How to create a life where you aren’t the person in your family being inundated with all the tasks and organisation.
How to develop the skill of sharing your mental load successfully.
How to communicate how you want the mental load to be shared in your family in a way that feels like conversation, rather than nagging, or delegating.
