Are you mentally exhausted even after a full night’s sleep? Do you feel like you're constantly juggling an invisible to-do list no one else can see? You might be carrying the mental load—and it's time for a serious mental unload.

In this episode, Dr. Stacy Heimburger breaks down the difference between traditional self-care and a true mental unload, and why so many women feel overwhelmed, even during “me time.” If your brain never seems to shut off, this conversation will feel like the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

• What the mental load really is (and why women tend to carry it most)
• The difference between real rest and “performative” self-care
• Simple ways to mentally unload without needing a whole weekend away
