The Mother Load: Why Moms Are Struggling and What Needs to Change
About this episode
A recent study shows that 64% of moms are experiencing a decline in their mental health but not the dads. So what’s really going on here? In this episode, Kate & Anne unpack the invisible weight so many mothers carry: the emotional labor, the mental juggling, and the pressure to do it all.
We’re digging into the stats, the stories, and most importantly what we can actually do about it. From asking for more support to letting go of the “perfect mom” myth, this is an honest, necessary conversation about the real state of motherhood today.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding it all together with duct tape and coffee, you’re not alone.
