Maggie Dent – The Mother Load: Why Mums Deserve to Exhale

Maggie Dr Kristy Goodwin on her Spacious Success podcast for a heartfelt conversation about modern motherhood and why so many capable women feel stretched thin and quietly overwhelmed.
They unpacked the mental load women carry, the pressures of modern parenting, and why the “just do more self-care” message misses the point.

If you’ve ever wondered why motherhood feels harder than it used to, this conversation is for you.

In this episode we explored:
• why the mental load keeps so many women awake at night
• how biology and hormones can amplify pressure and guilt
• why comparison culture has intensified motherhood
• what women have lost as the “village” has disappeared
• why self-care alone can’t solve systemic overload
• the power of wise women, community and real connection
