Managing the Mental Load and Making Room for You

From remembering appointments and school forms to anticipating everyone else’s needs, the invisible work of caring can quietly take over. This lunchtime event shines a light on the mental load so many of us carry, and asks an important question: where do we fit into our own lives? Through honest conversation and practical ideas, we’ll look at how to share that load, set boundaries that stick, and treat our own wellbeing as a priority rather than an afterthought.

The session opens with a panel discussion featuring voices who understand these pressures from the inside, offering candid reflections and approaches that have made a real difference. Afterwards, guests are invited to pause and recharge in a dedicated wellbeing session, a welcome chance to step out of the busy day and leave feeling lighter than when you arrived.
