909: The Invisible Work That’s Exhausting Women: How to Name It, Share It, and Lighten It
The Goal Digger Podcast | Top Business and Marketing Podcast for Creatives, Entrepreneurs, and Women in BusinessShow Notes
Ever feel like you’re doing everything for everyone and still falling short? That’s the mental load, and it might be silently sabotaging your business, your relationships, and your sanity.
Today’s guest is Dr. Morgan Cutlip: a psychologist, relationship expert, and author on a mission to help women feel whole, light, and deeply connected in all their relationships. With a PhD in psychology and a knack for translating research into real-life solutions, she’s helped hundreds of thousands of people navigate the complexities of love, family, and partnership.
Her books Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself and her upcoming title A Better Share tackle the emotional and mental responsibilities women disproportionately carry, especially when it comes to marriage, motherhood, and yes, running a business.
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re burnt out even when your partner or team is “helping,” or if you’ve struggled to balance being a boss and being present at home, this conversation is for you. We’re diving into how the mental load affects your business, your boundaries, and your personal life, and what you can do to take some of that weight off.

After 968 episodes and nearly a decade, I'm pausing the Goal Digger Podcast. Season one is complete, and I'm so excited about what comes next.
Drew's back on the mic after a few years, and honestly, I wasn't sure what this conversation would uncover. We've been married for fourteen years, together for half of our lives, and we're standing at this threshold where both girls are finally in school full-time and we're asking ourselves: what do we actually want now?
Becoming an entrepreneur is the most expensive personal development program you will ever pay for, and I'm not even talking about the money.

Anna Malaika Tubbs is a two-time New York Times bestselling author and a leading voice in gender, race, and equity. Her newest book Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us is a wake-up call, one that challenges us to rethink everything from who gets remembered to who gets rewarded.
When you read the title of this episode, you may have thought that I’m here to tell you about the next app you need to download or the algorithm hack you're already late to.

The moves the sanest, smartest women I know are already making quietly.
