82. The Mental Load, Burnout, and Your Hormones

Let’s talk about something that’s been weighing heavy on my heart—the mental load women carry every single day.

A couple of weeks ago, I was at the Relaxed Money conference in Miami with two of my dearest friends—you know, the ones who truly see you, support you, and hold space for all your truths. And as we poured our hearts out over those three days, one theme kept surfacing: we are exhausted AF.

Not just physically tired, but mentally and emotionally worn out from doing all the things—running businesses, raising kids, managing households, and keeping a never-ending mental checklist of every little detail.

In this episode of Aligned Womb, Aligned You, we’re diving into:

🔥 What the mental load actually is—and why it feels so heavy for women
🔥 How chronic stress impacts your hormones—especially cortisol and its downstream effect on estrogen and progesterone
🔥 Why addressing burnout is non-negotiable for balancing PMS, painful periods, and irregular cycles
🔥 4 simple, cycle-focused strategies to reduce stress and lighten your mental load:

Understanding your 4 cycle phases
Teaching your kids about your cycle (yes, really!)
Having open, ongoing convos with your partner about your hormones
Syncing your work schedule with your energy levels

Spoiler alert: You can’t balance your hormones without tackling stress first—and today, I’m showing you how to start.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stretched thin, or like your hormones are running the show, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s reclaim your balance, one cycle phase at a time.
