If you're tired of being everyone's backup plan, this episode is for you.

I'm breaking down what the "mental load" really is...and why it's not just about the tasks you do, but about being the only one who remembers, anticipates, and carries responsibility for everyone else's needs.

I'll share why "just take a break" advice falls flat when you're the family's emergency contact for everything, and why self-care can't fix a system that runs on you doing it all.

In this episode, I'll teach you:

  • What the mental load actually is (and why it's suffocating you)
  • Why breaks without structural change just delay the next crash
  • The real reason Pinterest-perfect planning systems don't work
  • Three practical ways to start lightening the load this week
  • How to delegate in ways you've probably never considered
  • Why you might need to stop being so "helpful"

This isn't about becoming more organized...it's about getting back in the driver's seat of your own life.

Get some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on.
We have a beautiful pdf download of the 6 Mantras For Intentional Moms you can keep or print. Request them right HERE.
