Mental Load: Episode 4
Manage episode 366098844 series 2343033
It's a phrase we hear a lot about — the mental load — but what does it actually mean? And how can we navigate life while carrying it?
Brooke and Ben discuss their differing definitions of mental load and how it plays out for them personally. They also dig into the broader conversation (Is a heavier mental load a gender issue or one of personality? Is it about convenience? Does it differ across generations?) and look at suggestions on how to make changes that could help lessen or even out the load in a relationship.
In the reflection part of the pod they discuss the big, beautiful benefits of being content versus being happy, and dig into how our values might help define both contentment/happiness.
