About this listen

In this episode, Martina dives into the invisible pressure so many women carry: the mental load, the emotional labor, the endless juggling of work, home, health, appearance, partnership, family, and everyone’s feelings. Whether you have kids or not, whether you work from home or outside the house, the load is real. And for so many women, it never turns off.

In a world that tells women “you can have it all,” many of us are quietly burning out trying to be it all.

And for millennial women — the first generation who lived both with and without technology, the first to be told “go build a career first, children later,” the first to carry both the old expectations and the new freedoms — the pressure is uniquely intense.

So today, Martina unpacks:

  • Why so many women secretly feel like something is “wrong” with them
  • How emotional labor and mental load drain your health, your joy, and your energy
  • The millennial generational trap of “do it all, do it perfectly, and don’t complain.”
  • Why more choice sometimes means more pressure
  • The quiet resentment so many women carry — and what it’s really trying to tell you
  • Most importantly: how to step out of the cycle and finally breathe again
