The Invisible Load: Why Mums Are Mentally Exhausted — And No One Is Talking About It
Fri Feb 06 2026
Love to hear from you don’t be shy send me a message ✨
When was the last time you truly switched off?
Not scrolling… not multitasking… not mentally planning tomorrow — but genuinely rested.
In this powerful and deeply relatable episode, we’re talking about the invisible load of motherhood — the constant mental responsibility so many mums carry every single day without recognition.
From remembering school emails to managing emotions, running a home, supporting everyone else, and still trying to show up for your own dreams… it’s no wonder so many women feel mentally exhausted.
But here’s the truth — you are not failing, and you are absolutely not alone.
This episode is your gentle reminder that motherhood was never meant to erase you… and that support, calm, and breathing space are not luxuries — they are necessities.
If you’ve been feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or quietly drained, this conversation will help you feel seen, understood, and lighter.
Top Tips to Lighten the Invisible Load:
✨ Stop managing everything alone
You don’t have to hold the entire household in your head. Delegate, ask for help, and release the pressure of doing everything perfectly — done is often more than enough.
✨ Close some of those mental tabs
Not everything is urgent. Not everything is your responsibility. Start each day by asking, “What actually matters today?”
✨ Lower the invisible standards
You do not have to earn rest. Rest is not a reward — it is a basic human need.
✨ Create micro-moments of reset
Small pauses regulate your nervous system more than you realise. A deep breath, a quiet cup of tea, five minutes outside — these moments count.
✨ Remember that you matter too
Not just as a mum, but as a woman and as a person. Your needs are valid.
