The Unspoken Weight of Motherhood: Why You Feel So Overwhelmed
This week on Behind The Fold, I’m pulling back the curtain on something so many of us silently carry—the unspoken, invisible weight of motherhood. With baby number two on the way, I’m feeling the mental load more than ever, and today’s solo episode is all about what that looks like, why it happens, and how we can shift out of survival mode and into something more aligned.
From delegating tasks and releasing guilt, to redefining what success means in this season, I’m sharing what’s working for me, where I still struggle, and how I’m choosing to reclaim space for myself. If you’re feeling like the list never ends and you’re constantly falling short—this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone, and you don’t have to do it all.
Keep listening to hear more about:
• 1:00 – The emotional buildup of the mental load and how I’m preparing for life with two
• 4:10 – Letting go of “doing it all” and learning to delegate without guilt
• 9:14 – Redefining productivity, breaking the perfectionism loop, and creating meaningful space for yourself
• 16:40 – The power of communication in managing emotional labor and asking for what you need
• 25:28 – Moving from overwhelm to alignment and reframing what a fulfilled day truly looks like
If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear what you’re letting go of this week. Send me a DM @RachelleSaevil or share the episode with a fellow mom who needs to hear it.
