What makes it slightly ironic is that I not only know the tools for managing it, I have written about them. I will admit, I feel slightly hypocritical. But should I? I became curious rather than defeated. That curiosity led me to some interesting research. I came across a systematic literature review by Reich-Stiebert, Froehlich and Voltmer (2023), published in the journal Sex Roles, which reviewed 31 peer-reviewed studies on...]]></description><link>https://www.igradvisory.com/post/the-mental-load-same-household-two-different-perspectives</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ab4e6ec462042fa0a58dd71</guid><pubDate>Thu, 24 Sep 2026 09:06:30 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_cfffc6fd666a45f0ac1516284098f8c4~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>isabella3926</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Die mentale Belastung: Ein Haushalt, zwei unterschiedliche Perspektiven]]></title><description><![CDATA[Diese Woche bin ich in der mentalen Belastung, die ich trage, fast untergegangen. Das Ironische daran ist, dass ich nicht nur die Methoden kenne, um damit umzugehen, sondern sogar darüber geschrieben habe. Ich gebe zu, ich fühle mich ein bisschen heuchlerisch. Aber sollte ich das überhaupt? Ich war eher neugierig als niedergeschlagen. Diese Neugier führte mich zu einigen interessanten Forschungsergebnissen.

Hier in der Schweiz hat die Schule bereits begonnen oder beginnt nächste Woche. Alle Anzeichen deuten darauf hin, dass der Sommer sich dem Ende zuneigt — hoffentlich lässt die Hitze, die wir bisher erlebt haben, ein wenig nach, und es steht eine Phase mit dringend benötigtem Regen bevor. All das bringt mich zu einem Sprichwort: «Das Einzige, was beständig ist, ist der Wandel.» Der antike griechische Philosoph Heraklit hat dies in...]]></description><link>https://www.igradvisory.com/de/post/das-einzige-was-best%C3%A4ndig-ist-ist-der-wandel</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ad8787eea280efb277ea788</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2026 08:39:36 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e436f1ce21894039a4aa46a815f134f2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>isabella3926</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Only Constant Is Change]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most people are returning from holiday. Here in Switzerland, school has started or will do so next week. All signals point to summer being in its final stretch, hopefully with the heat we have been experiencing coming down a little, and a stretch of much needed rain on the way. All of this brings me to a saying: "the only thing constant is change." The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus captured this in his river rule. You cannot step into the same river twice, because the water keeps...]]></description><link>https://www.igradvisory.com/post/the-only-constant-is-change</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7d769bf1f88bc38bdff9a9</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2026 07:53:44 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e436f1ce21894039a4aa46a815f134f2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>isabella3926</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Work Behind the Work]]></title><description><![CDATA[Last week I was in a room full of working mothers. I expected to hear about the juggle — the logistics, the guilt, the relentless mental load. And yes, those things came up. But what struck me most was something quieter and harder to name. One woman described how she had restructured her work to travel less and be closer to home. A real sacrifice, made with clarity. And yet — it still didn't feel right inside. So she adjusted again. And again.

It was a simple S-shaped curve — and she told us this would be our journey. Not in a week or a month, but over time. And it would look different for each of us. The curve started with a steady climb — the excitement of something new, the sense of making progress, learning fast. Then it peaked. A brief moment of feeling on top of the world, capable, confident. And then it dropped. Sharply.

The traffic ahead has ground to a halt.

And yet, sitting in that traffic, there is absolutely nothing you can do to make it move. We've all been there. And most of us know, even in that moment, that the worry isn't helping.

Because creating the future doesn’t mean controlling everything. It means recognizing that the future is, at least in part, negotiable.

After a few rough nights of poor sleep thanks to a lingering cough, the day started off on shaky ground.

The message is clear—if you're not well, you can't effectively help anyone else. A major part of self-care involves setting boundaries.
