"Releasing the Mother Load" (Invisible Labor) with Erica Djossa

"Releasing the Mother Load" (Invisible Labor) with Erica Djossa

Cooking dinner is the easy part of the day -- it's the meal planning, anticipating the picky eater, grocery shopping, coordinating schedules, washing dishes, etc that go with it that can become overwhelming; it's called invisible labor and it's something moms know all too well. Psychotherapist Erica Djossa is committed to helping moms lighten this heavy load with strategies to divide domestic and cognitive work at home in her new book "Releasing the Mother Load: How to Carry Less and Enjopy Motherhood More." Today she chats with Maria about:

  • What the "mother load" is and why it can be hard to understand and unpack
  • How to redefine "good mother" with a personal measuring stick
  • Load Maps -- what they are & how families can use them
  • Social expectations vs. family values
  • How to unsubscribe from comparison & expectations that don't serve you
