Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron Ask Dr. Cindy: How can I better manage my mental load?
A parent from our membership asked me "How can I manage the mental load" and in today's episode, I break down the advice I gave this parent.
We all have a mental load and sometimes it seems like nothing can make it disappear. However, there are ways that we can manage this better and feel less of this burden on our minds.
I share tips from the book Essentialism by Greg McKeown and one study that I found on productivity.
I summarize these 4 changes you can make at the end of the episode but if you need a space to be held accountable, to get support from a community and to get weekly check-ins to see how you are progressing, then don't forget to join our membership called the Reflective Parent Club!

If You’re Working on Staying Calm During Chaotic Parenting Moments…
This episode pairs beautifully with my course, Becoming a Reflective Parent, where we start with values and identity before diving into the 10 emotional skills parents were never taught — including stress management, emotion regulation, self-awareness, leadership, and conflict resolution.
If you snap easily, feel overwhelmed, or want to parent with more calm and confidence, this course was designed for you.
