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.

In this episode, I talk about how our expectations of others impacts our mental load and relationships. If your experience of everyday life has moments of resentment, frustration or disconnection, nothing has gone wrong.

Often the buildup of negative emotions comes down to a misalignment of the expectations that we have of people in our lives, or of situations in our lives.

This episode is about brining those expectations back into alignment, which allows us to let go of some of those negative feelings.

In this episode, you'll discover:


How misaligned expectations affects our emotional state and relationships.
How to have clear communication to avoid resentment and frustrations.
What steps you can take to align your expectations with reality to improve your well-being.

It is so important to align our expectations with reality in motherhood. This is all about giving you practical strategies for setting realistic expectations so that you can lighten your mental load.

Why it is important to overcome the guilt and shame often associated with asking for help
How to ask for help more freely
What mindset shifts are necessary to seek support without feeling burdensome
How asking for help not only lightens your mental load but also strengthen your relationships and community ties
