Tired of Carrying the Mental Load? How t...

Britany Williams
About this episode

If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I the only one who remembers everything for this family?” — this episode is for you. From doctor appointments to daycare snacks, if the mental load is draining you and you wish your partner would just handle it without you having to ask (again), this conversation will hit home.

Today, I’m joined by Zach Watson — a invisible labor coach and Fair Play Method facilitator — to talk about why women carry the mental load, why “asking for help” isn’t the solution, and how to create a better partnership at home.

Whether you feel like the default parent, overwhelmed with managing every little thing, or just tired of being in charge of it all, Zach offers practical ways to shift the mental and emotional labor (without managing your partner like a second kid0.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why women carry the mental load and invisible labor and how to make it more visible to your partner
  • Why "helping" isn’t enough — and how to create true ownership of household tasks
  • Maternal gatekeeping and how to stop carrying the emotional load alone
  • Practical steps to help your partner share the role of being the "default parent"

If you're mentally overloaded, emotionally drained, and tired of feeling like the only one holding it together, this episode is the roadmap to start changing that.
