Following our discussion last week, we've identified a few myths around mental load that warrants extra exploration.

Key takeaways:

Proactive intervention: Addressing mental load early before it escalated to a point of no return might prevent irreversible damage.
Unveil the invisible: Remember that mental load is invisible. The only way to shed light on it is by examining it and understanding its affects- specifically how it affects you.
Resilience: Despite having effective routines, great time management and running a well oiled machine, mental load can still creep up and affect all aspects our your life.
Communication vs nagging: If you are nagging or being nagged, there may be underlying issues with communication. Active listening can create a more supportive environment.
Beyond the domestic home: Mental load goes beyond homelife. It can show up in many forms with work and societal expectations adding to pressures.
