Synopsis
Ever feel exhausted even when you haven’t done much physically? You might be carrying a heavy mental load—the invisible weight of constant planning, decision-making, worrying, and emotional labor. This talk explores what the mental load is, how it quietly drains your energy, and why it's more common than you think—especially among caregivers, parents, working professionals, and those juggling multiple roles.
We’ll break down the signs of mental fatigue, the emotional and psychological impact it has over time, and the difference between being busy and being mentally overwhelmed. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to manage the mental load—like setting boundaries, offloading responsibilities, prioritizing self-care, and communicating your needs more effectively.
Perfect for anyone who's been feeling "tired all the time" and wants to regain clarity, energy, and balance in daily life.
