The Invisible Load; Why You're So Tired (and How to Stop Resenting Everyone!)

The Invisible Load; Why You're So Tired (and How to Stop Resenting Everyone!)

Is your brain always on?


You’re brushing your teeth, but also mentally planning meals, remembering the pickup times and wondering if you’ve RSVP’d to the latest birthday party?


Parenting is tough, and the burnout is real. I’m here to tell you not to be ashamed about that, but to talk about it, because every parent out there is feeling it!


To talk more about this invisible load, and the impact it can have on your life, work, mental and physical health,,I’m joined by Rania Robinson, the CEO of Quiet Storm, a mum of two children and she also happens to be my sister, so trust me when I tell you she knows a thing or two about juggling that invisible load!


We had an amazing chat about the ups and downs of balancing parenthood with a career, and why it can feel like being a mum and an employee simply doesn’t co-exist.


We also discuss how gender roles can pile more pressure on you as a mum because, let’s face it, you’re probably the one who keeps track of everything… and everyone!


So find a comfy seat, pour yourself a cuppa, take the next 46 minutes to relax, and enjoy the conversation…
