The Invisible Load is for mothers who are tired in a way that sleep doesn’t fix.
It’s about the constant mental and emotional work that runs in the background of family life — the planning, remembering, anticipating, and worrying that never really shuts off. The kind of work where you’re not just doing tasks, you’re keeping the whole system running. If you’ve ever felt like the family’s project manager or emotional thermostat, this book puts words to that experience.
This guide doesn’t minimize the exhaustion or try to reframe it as gratitude. It explains why carrying so much in your head leads to burnout, decision fatigue, and feeling stretched thin even when nothing looks “wrong” from the outside.
Inside, I talk through realistic ways to lighten the load — not by doing everything better, but by doing it differently. That includes shifting partners from “helping” to actually owning responsibilities, learning how to tolerate different ways of doing things, and letting “good enough” be enough.
More than anything, this book is a reminder that the behind-the-scenes work you do is real, it matters, and you were never meant to carry it all by yourself.
