As we celebrate International Women's Day, we often highlight the glass ceilings shattered and the milestones achieved. We want to celebrate those victories while also addressing a quieter, internal struggle that many women face: the weight of the "mental load."

The end of the year is often called the “silly season” - a time of celebration, family, and joy.
