Episode 1
The Mental Load of Parenting: Why You Can’t Turn Your Brain Off
Parenting comes with more than just a to-do list. From remembering appointments and managing schedules to carrying the emotional needs of an entire family, the mental load can feel endless.
In the first episode of Between Sessions, Naomi Raymond and Elissa May Franklin explore what the mental load of parenting really looks like, why it can be so exhausting, and how parents can begin creating more balance without adding another item to their already-full list.
