Ep #150: Mental Load (and Overload) with Mylène Houle Morency

The Joyful Practice for Women Lawyers with Paula Price | Mental Load (and Overload) with Mylène Houle Morency

To celebrate the huge milestone of 150 podcast episodes this week, I have a very special guest on the show. Mylène Houle Morency is a professional organizer and a dear friend who was my first-ever podcast guest, and she’s back today to share her insights on the topic of mental load and mental overload. 

 

Mylène has been very busy since she was first on the show two and a half years ago. She’s a multi-passionate entrepreneur who now has her own TV show, has written a book, and continues to offer trainings on work-life balance, mental overload, and corporate organizing. She’s here today to shed light on what mental overload means, and how to identify our triggers so we can prevent tipping into an overload state.

 

Listen in this week to discover the characteristics that might make you susceptible to mental overload, and Mylène’s favorite strategies for reducing your mental load to healthy levels. We’re exploring how we unwittingly tip ourselves into mental overload, the roles of perfectionism and anxiety in creating mental overload, and why our mental overload profiles will look different for each individual.

 


I have created a group coaching program dedicated to supporting women lawyers, just like you, in your practice and your personal life. I’m going to help you create an even greater impact in your own life, and the lives of those around you. For more information, click here!
