This week, Sam sits down with Paige Connell, a working mom of four who knows firsthand how exhausting the mental load of motherhood can be. They get real about juggling work, kids, and the never-ending to-do list, plus the frustration that comes with default gender roles and unrealistic societal expectations. Paige shares how all of this can build resentment and why open communication is key to creating more balance at home.
