The mental load

How do we carry less?

In this episode, Caroline Spencer is joined by Larissa, a psychologist, mother of 4 teenagers and wife of a church minister.

When it comes to the mental load, how do we carry less? Life hacks like shared calendars have their place…but what’s a different way of looking at the mental load that might ease the burden?

Drawing on real workplace examples, Biblical wisdom, and personal reflection, this conversation explores how we can better manage the tensions in relationships that arise over shared tasks.

Bible References: Luke 10:38-42, Psalm 68:19-20, Matthew 11:28-29
