The Mental Load of Motherhood: How to Feel Less Overwhelmed with Dr. Morgan Cutlip
About this episode
This episode features a conversation with Dr. Morgan Cutlip about the mental load of motherhood and strategies to feel less overwhelmed.
Have you ever felt like you’re carrying the invisible weight of your family while quietly wondering, “When is it going to be my turn”? You’re not alone. In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with psychologist, author, and mom Dr. Morgan Cutlip to unpack the mental load so many women carry every single day. We talk about why moms so easily lose themselves in the demands of family life, how guilt and impossible expectations keep us stuck, and why waiting for permission to prioritize yourself often means waiting forever. Dr. Morgan shares practical, grace-filled strategies for communicating your needs, setting healthy boundaries, navigating the emotional labor of motherhood, and redefining what self-care really looks like beyond bubble baths and spa days. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by summer schedules, struggling with mom guilt, or simply craving a little more peace in the middle of the chaos, this conversation is full of encouraging reminders and simple, actionable tweaks that will help you reclaim your momentum, one small step at a time.
