Joined by our special guest, Productivity Specialist and Certified Fair Play Method Facilitator - Valerie Recore, we bring to light the invisible weight carried by mothers across the globe. Every day, moms juggle multiple responsibilities in both their personal and professional lives, leading to a significant mental load - a compounding of unseen everyday tasks essential for families.

We explore why this burden seldom falls on men, uncover the cultural and historical roots behind this pattern, and kickstart a conversation on how these trends can be shifted. Valerie shares her actionable advice on aligning family values, setting realistic household standards, and the importance of prioritizing self-care and communication. This episode is an empowering resource for working moms, and those seeking to advocate for them.

And more, we delve deep into a vital discussion about the mental load of motherhood with Valerie. Discover mothers' experiences with this unseen burden, its impact on relationships, and the importance of acknowledgment and resolution.

We examine societal structures that lead to this mammoth 'mental load', primarily experienced by mothers, and delve into the importance of clear communication, evaluation of personal and family values, and the unsustainable practice of societal acceptance through a brave front.
