The Mental Load Women Carry & How to Lighten It

Hi there! Let’s talk about something we all feel but don’t always name: the mental load. It’s the invisible work of keeping a family running—remembering appointments, planning meals, organizing activities—and it often falls on women. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

It’s okay to admit that the mental load can be overwhelming. But here’s the good news: sharing the load isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity for a healthy, balanced family life. Outsourcing certain tasks—like house cleaning, tutoring, or meal preparation—isn’t about failing; it’s about thriving.

At Pâtachou, we’re here to help. We want to lighten the mental load women carry. Our meal delivery service takes the stress out of planning and cooking, giving you more time and energy for what matters most. Imagine sitting down to a delicious, healthy dinner without lifting a finger. It’s possible, and you deserve it.

Let’s start a conversation about letting go of perfection and embracing support. Because lightening the mental load isn’t just good for you—it’s good for everyone.

XO,

Rebecca, your overtired and overwhelmed bestie

Help me. I'm overwhelmed.
