This week Leah is back to speak about the mental load. We all think we know what the mental load is but in this conversation, Leah describes to Laura the 8 different types of mental load that we could be carrying at any one time, as well as recognising where your mental load energy is being spent, and how to better distribute this energy. If you’re currently drowning in the mental load, we hope this episode helps you.
