The Mental Load Women Can’t See — But Definitely Feel If you’re anything like me, your brain is constantly buzzing with the next 10 things that need doing. The birthday gift you haven’t bought. The field trip form that’s due tomorrow. The laundry. The lunchbox. The lightbulb that needs changing. This is what we call the invisible list — the never-ending mental to-do list that moms and caregivers carry around like a second job. And the kicker? No one else can see it.

When Weekends Stop Feeling Like Rest  For years, I looked forward to weekends — only to find myself more exhausted by Sunday night than I was on Friday. Laundry piled up. Errands ran long. Birthday parties, grocery runs, home repairs, planning for Monday — all of it packed into 48 rushed hours.  Weekends had become the 'overflow bin' for everything that didn’t get done during the week.

It was only 10AM and I already felt done. I hadn’t even started my actual work, yet my brain was already foggy, my patience thin, and my body buzzing with decision stress. What to wear. What to pack in lunches.

There was a season when I couldn’t tell when work ended and life began. Emails during dinner. Slack notifications while brushing teeth. I was parenting and working in the same space, at the same time, all the time.

Every weekday around 4PM, our house turned into a battlefield. Not because of bad behavior — but because we were all emotionally tapped out. Homework became the spark that ignited our exhaustion.

If you're a working parent, you probably know the feeling: waking up already behind. The kitchen’s a mess, your toddler wants cereal but not in that bowl, and you can’t remember if today is the day you were supposed to send snacks to school.

There was a time in my life when mornings felt like survival mode.  Alarms. Lunches. Emails. Socks that vanished in the dryer. I’d wake up already behind — mentally spinning before I even got to the car. 

 If I asked you where your time goes… could you answer honestly?  Most working parents can’t. And it’s not their fault — the days blur together. That’s why a time audit is one of the most powerful (and eye-opening) tools I use and teach in the Time Mastery course. 

You sit down on Sunday with the best intentions — but by Wednesday, that weekly plan feels like a fantasy novel. Sound familiar?  The truth is, most parents don’t need more plans.

I used to think daily planning had to be a 30-minute power session with color-coded markers and a perfect desk. But with kids, work, and a to-do list that renews itself overnight, that wasn’t realistic.
