Episode notes
Motherhood isn't just physically demanding, it's mentally exhausting. Beyond caring for children, many mothers carry the invisible responsibility of managing family schedules, remembering appointments, planning meals, organizing daily life, and keeping everyone on track.
In this clip from The Forties Formula, counselor, walk-and-talk therapist, and fatherhood advocate Simon Parkin shares why this "mental load" often goes unnoticed, how it creates resentment in relationships, and what fathers can do to become more supportive partners.
In this clip:
* Why the invisible mental load affects so many mothers
* Why dads often don't realize how much moms are managing
* How better communication can strengthen relationships
* Small shifts that create a more balanced family life
Watch the full episode for a deeper conversation on fatherhood, relationships, emotional wellbeing, and building healthier families.
