The State of the Working Mom: New Research on Burnout, Mental Load & Why It's Not Your Fault

If you’ve been wondering why working motherhood still feels so exhausting even when you’re doing everything “right,” this episode is the beginning of a conversation I think we desperately need. I’m kicking off my new State of the Working Mom series with the research, interviews and data I’ve gathered from working moms across the country, and the findings are incredibly validating. From the mental load that never clocks out to the guilt that follows us everywhere, the missing village, the toll on our bodies and the deep desire to simply feel like we have our lives back, I’m unpacking what working moms are really experiencing right now and why so much of it goes far beyond better time management.

In this episode, we unpack:Why the workplace was never designed with working moms in mindThe six biggest themes emerging from my working mom researchWhy the mental load truly never clocks outWhat working moms are craving even more than “balance”Why so many women are quietly thinking, “I just want my life back”
