337 The Mental Load of Motherhood With Paige Connell

There is a particular kind of exhaustion that doesn't show up on any to-do list. It lives in the back of your brain at all hours, tracking what's running low in the pantry, remembering which kid has a permission slip due, mentally filing away that the chicken recipe failed so you never make it again. It is relentless, it is invisible, and for most women, it is entirely theirs to carry.

I am joined by Paige Connell, a working mother of four who has spent years putting language to something millions of women have felt but couldn't name. In this conversation, we get honest about why the load lands where it does, what it really takes to redistribute it, and why so much of the resentment women carry quietly makes complete sense once you actually look at it.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

• Why the mental load is invisible and relentless even in equal partnerships.
• The difference between doing a task and actually owning it.
• Why time equity matters more than who earns what.
• Why redistributing the load isn't a one-time conversation.
