Purpose, Paychecks, and the Mental Load of Motherhood

Motherhood is expensive. Mentally, emotionally, and literally.

So I asked myself: if moms got paid for everything they actually do… what would they be paid? And how much does a working mom realistically need to make just to stay afloat?

In this episode, I unpack the mental load of motherhood, burnout, childcare costs, and the financial pressure facing moms today. I also dive into my family history during the Great Depression and reflect on how women across generations have continued finding purpose, resilience, and little moments of joy along the way.

Because sometimes all we need is a change of perspective. A perspective that can be found by simply taking the scenic route home.
