This is NPR's Life Kit.
I'm Marielle Sagatwa.
Life Kit reporter, Andy Tagle.
Hi.
Hi, Marielle.
Good morning.
One of your favorite topics I feel like on Life Kit is the mental load.
What does it mean?
The mental load.
The mental load is so many things.
It's sometimes called invisible labor.
It's all that behind the scenes, thinking, planning, organizing, executing.
It's everything it takes to keep a household running.
And oftentimes it falls on.
One person more than the other.
Yeah, I feel like when we talk about the mental load, we're often talking about women and moms.
