This one’s for every parent who’s ever stayed up late wrapping birthday presents, stuffing goodie bags, or scrambling to explain why the tooth fairy forgot to come (again).
In this episode, we get into the invisible labor behind the “magic”—from planning birthday parties and making cupcakes from scratch, to managing the ever-growing calendar of childhood traditions. We talk about what it means to carry the mental load of childhood joy, and how much of that load we were carrying without even realizing it.
Expect: honest laughs, a few confessions, and the start of a bigger conversation about emotional labor, invisible planning, and how we’re trying to rebalance it all—together.
