The holiday mental load makes the rest of the year's mental load feel like a vacation. From curating gift lists, to managing multiple calendars, to creating the holiday magic, so many holiday tasks unfairly fall on women. In this episode, we explore:

  • family dynamics, dealing with in-laws, becoming a matriarch, and kin-keeping
  • gift giving, gift lists, tracking sales, budgeting, wrapping, hiding
  • the difference between the mental load, invisible labor, and emotional labor
  • magic-making, hosting, and preparing for travel for the holidays
  • men's holiday bad moods, and women's forced performance of joy

...and so much more that an old white man somehow gets all the credit for!!?
