027: Untangling the Invisible Load of Providing

Untangling Me: The Podcast · Aug 9, 2026 · 44m

We've talked about Mental Load and the huge toll it takes on many women (Tracey and Colleen included!) but in this episode we talk about a possible counterpoint to mental load...provider anxiety. We break down some of the challenges we see in our own lives related to juggling which roles partners take, how burdens are shared, and the communication necessary when both partners want to be supportive but the tasks feels overwhelming. Join us as we share stories and get real about the challenges of balancing the two sides of the same coin: provider anxiety and mental load.
