In this episode, I’m talking about the frustration that comes when you’ve communicated something once… and then it slowly ends up back on your plate.This is your reminder that communicating expectations isn’t a one and done job. Especially when it comes to offloading your mental load in a way that actually lasts.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Why sharing your mental load doesn’t always “stick” the first time- How to set expectations without burning out in the process- What to do when the help you asked for boomerangs straight back- How to keep going when it feels easier to “just do it yourself”- Why persistence matters (and how to make it feel lighter)If you’re in that frustrating cycle of communicating and then re-communicating (and wondering if it’s worth it), this episode will help you zoom out and refocus on the long term goal which is a mental load that’s actually shared, not just shuffled.Resources for youJoin my email list of beautiful mums here to stay in the loop, feel less alone, and get the pep talks you didn’t know you needed.Download my free A Mother’s Mind Morning Musings guide — 10 simple prompts designed to help you create more space for yourself and feel more supported, in just 10 minutes a day.A Little Moment to Just Be Me Journal –  This is THE journal that I use and the one that I created just for mums like you.Join a Mother’s Mind Membership - a self paced program where you will implement the Offload Practice, a process driven approach, to successfully share your mental load, ultimately enjoying your daily life without mental exhaustion.Connect with me:Check out my Mindset Journal, just for Mums HERECheck out my Website HEREConnect with me on Instagram @michelle.c.weeks
