25| Paige Connell & the mental load of motherhood, invisible labour, societal pressures on women, unequal division of tasks and how to talk to your partner about it all.
"Where is the Dad guilt?" This episode is all about breaking down the mental loads that women often carry. The societal pressures placed unfairly on women to do it all, and how we can talk to our partners to help build better relationships. So often Mum and women are expected to organise the family, buy the gifts, book the doctors appointments, set the reminders for every social event, do the chores, cook the dinner and also carry the emotional regulation for everyone in the house. What about me?! Does anyone look after me? This invisible load placed on women and mothers, builds and often leads to breaking point arguments about who stacks the dishwasher, when in fact it's so much more than the dishwasher. The resentments can lead to tit for tat. Paige Connell has been creating relatable content on TikTok for years, which make mums around the world finally feel seen! She has now developed a guide on how to talk to your partner about the mental load. This was such a honest and validating conversation on how hard it can be to be a mum today, and we know you'll all leave with some great take home messages.
