The Mother Load: Balancing What You Carry — in Life AND Business

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges women face in balancing life and business, focusing on the mental load and identity shifts of motherhood.

If you've been feeling stretched thin or like you're carrying two full-time jobs at once — life and business — this conversation is for you. In this roundtable, Quinn Tempest, Parijat Deshpande, and Karen Ozeri unpack the invisible load women hold behind the scenes: the mental load, identity shifts of motherhood, and the nervous-system strain of trying to "do it all" while running a business. They break down why so many women feel depleted right now (hint: it's not your fault), how these pressures land in the body, and what small, meaningful shifts can help you reclaim energy and agency. If you've been wondering, "Is it just me?"... it's not. 🎥 Watch the full video replay: https://quinntempest.com/mother-load-roundtable/
