Episode 04: Mental Load of Motherhood: Why You Remember Everything for Everyone and Still Feel Overwhelmed
That grocery store receipt moment...
Organic milk (dairy upset), gluten-free bread (headaches), exact yogurt she'll eat, Goldfish rotation, birthday wrapping paper (party Saturday), Tuesday-only sales. $187.43.
Every item = one mental decision you made.
If you disappeared tomorrow: Would they know her yogurt? Goldfish rotation? Science fair dates? Not because they don't care. Because that info lives only in *your* brain.
