Mental Load (with Natasha Shazana)

He Says, She Says, They Say

Welcoming our first guest to the podcast is Natasha Shazana, the founder of SOKO [as in soko(ng)], an intimate apparel brand based in Malaysia which prioritises comfort and real women representation. As a mother of two (cats), a wife of one (husband), and a daughter of an outstanding couple, Natasha is readjusting to the KL-life having moved here from the Big Apple (NYC). In this episode, Natasha shares her thoughts on a concept that we often face but seldom hear, the "mental load". Join your hosts, Iqbal and Azielia, and Natasha as they find out what the mental load is about, why so many couples still deal with this problem, and what the solution might be - even if there is a 100% chance some people might take this problem as just overthinking!

We would like to thank Natasha for revealing her secrets.

Topics discussed in this episode are:

* What is the mental load?
* Why does it discriminate between genders?
* Why is there an expectation for some to take on a heavier mental load than others?
* The guest shares her personal experience on the matter
* How do we overcome it?
