The invisible load contribute to mums’ exhaustion in a very insidious way. Mums are rarely recognised for all the planning, scheduling and monitoring work they’e doing for the family. And mums themselves might not even be aware of it! Yet, they feel mentally and emotionally drained by this unseen labour.

As mothers, connection is an essential piece of our wellbeing. We strive when we feel connected to our children, we provide them with unconditional love. But we also need to feel love and comforted ourselves. Authentic relationships, where we can be vulnerable and accepted for who we are, is what helps us navigate the chaos of motherhood. We need our village!

As mums, we spend most of our days on autopilot, ticking tasks off our to-do list… But do you take time to breathe?
