We’re not your work wives, your emotional support humans, or your conflict diffusers—and we’re done pretending that’s part of the job.

In this episode, we dig into the hidden tax of emotional labor at work what it looks like, why women carry the burden, and how it chips away at our mental health. We talk about the “go-to girl” trap, why being the team mom isn’t a compliment, and how to set boundaries without guilt. Plus, we serve up real strategies for naming it, ditching it, and taking your energy back. Spoiler alert: you don’t owe anyone your emotional bandwidth.
