Invisible Labor

About this episode

This episode unpacks the concept of invisible labor and its impact on various aspects of life.

Invisible labor is the unseen work that keeps everything running — from managing the mental load to anticipating the needs of others. In this episode, we unpack how this hidden effort shapes our homes, relationships, and even our workplaces, and why recognizing it matters more than ever.
