What is the Mental Load?

The mental load of motherhood is the often invisible cognitive and emotional labor that mothers carry in managing household tasks, family schedules, and daily logistics. She emphasizes that it's not just about the physical chores but the continuous mental effort and burden of planning, organizing, and ensuring everything runs smoothly in a family, marriage, and household. The mental load often falls disproportionately on mothers, leading to stress and burnout.

Paige has designed resources to support and advocate for open communication between partners to share this invisible labor responsibility equitably, ensuring that both partners actively participate in noticing, planning, and executing household and family-related tasks.
