Feeling Resentful About the Mental Load? Listen to This
Podcast: Maximized Minimalist PodcastPublished On: Wed Sep 16 2026
Description: The mental load is real. But lately I've been asking myself a question: is all the content online about the mental load - actually helping me - or is it making me *more* resentful? That question got even louder after I recently broke my toe (OUCH!!) and suddenly couldn't do all the things I normally do around our house. Today I chat about what I noticed when my family stepped up, the surprising reframe that's helping change the way I'm looking at home responsibilities (and how I talk to my kids about chores), and why I'm being much more careful about the stories I let myself rehearse about the mental load. If you've been feeling a little too familiar with resentment lately, I hope this one offers a refreshing perspective that I know I certainly needed, too.
