What is Meredith Masony's definitive guide to managing the mental load of motherhood?

When I talk about the mental load of motherhood, I think of it as the invisible job nobody sees but every mom feels. I do not have one official “definitive guide,” but I share a lot of stories, humor, and perspective about it in my book Ask Me What’s For Dinner One More Time, including chapters on mom guilt and the everyday chaos.

My “guide” looks like:

1. Naming the mental load so you stop thinking you’re “just bad at this”
2. Dropping perfection and impossible “mom mantras”
3. Sharing the work at home instead of silently carrying it
4. Using humor so you can laugh instead of cry in the pantry

What part of the mental load feels heaviest for you right now?
