Ep. 111 - How To Navigate The Invisible Load of Motherhood
<p>On this episode of The Cinnamon Effect with Kimberly Hand, Kimberly is solo on the microphone to talk about a phrase called “the invisible load of motherhood.” The invisible load refers to the responsibilities and tasks that often fall on mothers that rarely receive acknowledgement or recognition from other household members. Kimberly breaks down what these tasks are, why we are “assigned” to them and how to re-distribute the load and gain the peace and relaxation that we desire. Kimberly gives practical advice based on her own experiences and hopes to inspire other mothers who do all the things to lessen their own load unapologetically. </p><p></p><p>To connect with host Kimberly Hand:</p><p>Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.kimberlyhand.com">https://www.kimberlyhand.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyhand_">https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyhand_</a></p><p>Shop The Cinnamon Effect Journal here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://thecinnamoneffect.com/journal">https://thecinnamoneffect.com/journal</a></p><p>The Cinnamon Effect is recorded at PodPlus Studios (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCSCq49x1SGl3-zW4BsRbhJQ"> @PodPlusStudios </a>) in Jupiter, Florida, and produced by Hype Boss (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCzMlpAmXpC-x5J7WJBAm93w"> @hype-boss-hype-boss </a>) For more information, visit <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.podplusstudios.com">https://www.podplusstudios.com</a>.</p>
