#163 The Unseen Mental Load of the Holidays
The unseen mental load = all the behind-the-scenes thinking, planning, and worrying that goes into running a household—especially during the holidays.
Most of this unseen mental load falls on the shoulders of women, and this can lead to stress, overwhelm, burn-out, and resentment. It is easy to feel isolated and unappreciated when you are the one taking on the unseen mental load.
It doesn’t have to be this way. There is a different way to handle the holidays, and this episode will give you 4 things you can focus on instead.
If you have difficult family members, or a difficult situation going on in your family right now, it’s easy to be anxious about what might happen when you all get together. That anxiety overtake you and your peace during the holidays.
I’ve used this guide, and the process I walk you through and it has really helped me to feel more in charge of myself and my emotions. I feel more confident in myself and more forgiving of others and myself when I use it.
This guide will be your holiday lifesaver.
