Overloaded
You're not hysterical, just overwhelmed - and that can be changed.
Unload the dishwasher, prepare snacks, remind your partner to go shopping, resolve a sibling fight. all before breakfast. Then you just need a spoonful of yoghurt, that ends up on the last clean shirt, and a loving, calm mom turns into a bitch from hell in a second - smashing things, shouting and peppering the kids with sentences, she swore an oath about, that he'll never tell them. Yet seemingly nothing happened, right?
Overloaded is loosely based on the award-winning podcast Bitches from Hell. The authors draw on findings from neuroscience, developmental psychology and other disciplines and place them in the Czech context with subtle irony. They offer a safe and deeply human space for women who have been taking care of everything and everyone for a long time, but forget about themselves. The book doesn't just reveal the charge that falls on women: is also a guide on the road to a fairer distribution.
In the book you will learn, among other things, that.
The role of a loving parent includes anger, fatigue and overwhelm - don't blame yourself. Anger, when handled properly, helps protect our boundaries and values. With simple tips, you will learn to recognise your overload early and express it clearly, sensitively and without guilt. Don't wait for the "perfect moment" to push for change; immediate small steps will give you relief. Women's solidarity is not a phrase, but a source of strength that we can consciously strengthen.
They wrote about the book:
Overloaded is a book for all the women who keep going from morning to night and yet find themselves incapable and underperforming. And also for their husbands, for whom it will help them find the answer to the question "what have you been doing here all day?
