Sarah Urban, founder of She Carries It, joins the podcast to reveal the hidden challenges women face juggling executive careers, family, and community expectations. Sarah draws deeply from her personal journey, a high-powered 30-year corporate track, motherhood, and a pivotal realization about the power of being present. She lays out her proprietary C.A.R.I. methodology, offering listeners real strategies and stories that illuminate the pathway from overwhelm to fulfillment.

Sarah’s wisdom and honesty shine as she unpacks the “invisible load,” why women unconsciously take on more, and how individuals and organizations alike can take practical first steps toward sustainable change.

Episode Highlights:

07:46 – The invisible load is the mental and emotional work that happens in addition to the tasks you perform. It can take up a significant portion of your mental capacity and your time.

14:43 – I have an Invisible Load Inventory—an assessment that makes visible what you’re carrying at home and work. Seeing it on paper can be shocking and is often the first step toward real change.

21:39 – Organizations can do an office housework audit: look at who’s taking on extra, unassigned work, and make sure it’s rotated—not just left to the same people to avoid burnout and foster growth.
