Ask The Expert: How to Discuss the Mental Load (with Brian Page of Modern Husbands)
Do you ever feel like you're the only one who knows when the kids need new shoes, the fridge needs restocking, and that school form is due?
That hidden burden, known as the mental load, often lands unfairly on a mother's shoulders. How do we break free from this default cycle?
Join us for a frank, practical conversation for working moms with Brian Page, founder of Modern Husbands!
What to expect from this session:
Insights from Brian: as a father, husband, Certified Fair Play facilitator, a dual‑career partner, and an Accredited Financial Counselor who supports people through 1:1 and couples counseling
Why the mental load matters: how this unequal mental labor contributes to stress, resentment, and tension (even when the actual execution of chores seem evenly split)
Strategies for sharing it: practical systems like household meetings, shared calendars, and the Fair Play method to turn invisible tasks visible
Actionable next steps: communication tools, task ownership models, and boundary setting to reduce burnout and foster partnership
This session will give you the language, strategies, and confidence to talk to your partner about the invisible work and make it truly shared.
We’ll leave time for your questions—so come ready to ask Brian what’s worked (and sometimes hasn’t) in households just like yours.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
