This week on Finding Your Pink, I’m joined by the brilliant Tracy Gunn for a raw and real conversation about the hidden weight so many women carry: the mental load. We talk about what it really means to be a working mother in today’s world—where you’re expected to work like you don’t have kids and parent like you don’t have a job.From late-night flights to early morning school runs, we unpack the impossible juggling act, the guilt that never seems to lift, and why 46% of women say the mental load is just too much. We dive into why so many women are stepping back from progression to protect their family time—and how the division of emotional labour between men and women still feels so unbalanced.Tracy shares honest insights on how to have those awkward, triggering conversations with your partner and how to define your own circle of control (shout out to Stephen Covey) and how Dolly Parton saves the day, every time. If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding it all together with invisible string, this one’s for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
