Reclaiming Space and Sanity: A Spatial Wellness Approach to the Mental Load of Motherhood

Attendees of this transformative talk can expect to explore how the often invisible mental load of motherhood—like managing household responsibilities, emotional labor, and the never-ending to-do list—can be recognized, addressed, and alleviated through the lens of spatial wellness.

This talk will delve into how physical environments impact emotional regulation, cognitive clarity, and daily functioning, especially for mothers balancing multiple roles. Using a trauma-informed and practical approach, the speaker will guide attendees to:

• Understand the concept of spatial wellness and its direct connection to mental health and daily overwhelm.
• Identify how clutter, chaos, and environmental triggers can deepen stress and burnout for mothers.
• Learn tangible strategies to reset and reclaim home spaces in ways that reduce anxiety, increase efficiency, and restore a sense of control.
• Explore how setting boundaries—physically and emotionally—can help redistribute the mental load and create sustainable systems of support.
• Reflect on how reclaiming space is also about reclaiming self-worth, rest, and joy in motherhood.

Whether you're a mother looking for relief, a service provider supporting families, or someone interested in wellness through an environmental lens, this talk will offer compassionate insights and actionable tools to lighten the mental load and help you feel at home in your own life again.
