MANSFIELD — In the latest episode of Better Together, hosts Maddie Penwell and Brittany Schock sit down with licensed counselor Kelly Martincin to talk about something many people (especially women) live with every day but rarely name out loud: the mental load.
From managing family logistics to emotional caregiving, women often bear the brunt of invisible responsibilities that can leave them overwhelmed, anxious, and burnt out.
Together, they explore how this load accumulates, why it’s often gendered, and what can happen when we finally begin to share it.
Martincin, who provides therapy through OhioHealth and Life Steps Counseling, offers insight on how we can create micro-moments of relief, lean into our support systems, and build the kind of village where no one feels like they have to hold it all alone.
“The stress of being a human is real. The stress of being a female human is significantly heavier,” she says.
The episode weaves therapeutic wisdom with deeply personal stories, humor, and tangible takeaways. It’s a must-listen for anyone who’s ever whispered to themselves, “I can’t do this much longer.”
