The popular understanding of the 'mental load' often reduces it down to managing a list of household chores and logistics. Sociologist Leah Ruppanner reveals that for women, mental load actually goes much deeper: it's a complex form of emotional labour that requires thinking five steps ahead, keeping relationships intact, creating experiences that keep all members of the family happy and thriving, and more. In Drained, Ruppanner outlines the 8 distinct types of mental load performed across 7 unique stages, highlighting what makes the mental load so uniquely heavy for women.

But what if we stop blaming ourselves and instead make practical, impactful changes to our lives to prioritize our energy? With eye-opening, research-based insights, Drained offers a powerful toolkit to help women create richer, less overwhelming lives filled with more meaning and joy.
