Why Am I So Tired, Pt 2
Manage episode 433842480 series 3585701
In this episode, we tackle the invisible mental load that many women bear, often feeling like they're drowning under the weight of responsibilities.
We discuss the emotional and cognitive burdens that come with parenting, relationships, and managing a household, and how these often lead to emotional exhaustion. We explore how the division of labor in partnerships can strain relationships and share personal stories about setting boundaries and handling caregiver roles for elderly parents.
Join us as we reflect on generational expectations, the impact of societal norms on women, and the struggle to prioritize self-care. We also touch on the importance of community and support systems, highlighting the power of female friendship and connection. If you find yourself relating to these experiences, know that you are not alone.
Tune in to hear our honest conversations, engaging interviews, and the wisdom we've gathered from our own journeys. Let's navigate this midlife adventure together!
