Invisible Load: Unveiling the Judgements that Compound the Burden on Mothers Fierce, Kind Mama of Multiples

In this thought-provoking episode, join me as I discuss the historical and contemporary biases faced by mothers, both in the context of parenting and in the workplace. I start by highlighting the longstanding tradition of blaming mothers for their children’s problems, attributing developmental issues to a mother’s perceived failure. 
The discussion extends to workplace dynamics, exploring how gender stereotypes influence judgements. I talk about a body of research that has demonstrated that mothers, even in the same roles and with the same commitments, are judged more harshly than fathers. 


Personal anecdotes and reflections are woven into the narrative, and I encourage you as you listen to this episode to reflect on your own experiences and potential biases. 


My hope is that this episode will spark a conversation about how gender biases continue to shape perceptions and impact the lives of women, especially in the realm of parenting and professional endeavours.
