This book is a toolkit designed to help you identify and prevent the things that sap your energy, so that you can free up capacity to live the life you truly want. The term mental load has become more familiar in recent years, but the popular understanding of the concept often reduces it to managing a list of household chores and logistics. The reality is far more complex. Based on groundbreaking research from the University of Melbourne's Future of Work Lab, Professor Leah Ruppanner reveals the real toll of the mental load on women-especially mothers. The heart of the book is the Mental Load Audit, a powerful, practical tool to help you assess where you are spending your time and attention. Take the Mental Load Burnout Quiz to find out where you rate on the scale, then use Leah's research-backed battle plan to reorient your life towards the things that matter most. Praise for Drained 'Every woman in the Western world must read this book before they fold that next load of washing. Leah is the real deal: she writes with such warmth and understanding, and I spent a lot of this book with tears in my eyes as I felt seen and validated. But here's the thing - she doesn't just acknowledge the struggle, she gives you a road map to managing it all without everything falling apart.' Felicity Harley 'This isn't another vague lament about doing it all, being busy or overwhelmed; it's a razor-sharp, research-backed reckoning with the invisible labour crushing women across the world.
