Lately it feels like everything is hitting at once.
Kids getting sick back to back.
Work that still needs you.
Or a business that does not pause.
Holiday planning and school events piling up.
Trying to make things “special” when you barely have anything left to give.Â
This is the invisible mental load. The part no one sees. The part you carry quietly because you think you are supposed to be able to handle it.
And when you hold all of this on your own, it can start to look like burnout, irritability, numbness, shutdown, tears out of nowhere, or feeling like you are one small thing away from breaking.
Talking about it helps.
Naming what is draining you helps.
Getting support early matters more than people realize.
If this resonated with you and you want someone to talk to about how you are feeling, our team is here. We offer free 15 minute consultations where you can share what you have been carrying and explore what support might help. đź’ś
