Whose Needs Are You Already Carrying?

You’re the one who notices the empty cupboard, remembers the appointment and thinks three steps ahead before anyone else knows there’s a task. Even when another person “helps”, you may still be the one who plans, reminds and follows up.

Whose Needs Are You Already Carrying? makes that invisible work visible. In a few short exercises, you’ll find one responsibility that could be shared, renegotiated or safely taken off your list.

For the work nobody sees you doing

For anyone carrying the mental load of a household, a family, paid work or ongoing care. If you’re tired of being the person who has to remember everything, this is a place to begin. Even if you have very little support, you can look honestly at what is essential, what can wait and where help might be possible.

What you'll learn and practise

  • Make a five-minute inventory of the tasks you anticipate, remember, organise and complete.
  • Separate real risks and essential care from inconvenience or expectations that could be reconsidered.
  • Define what a complete handover looks like, from noticing and booking through to follow-up.
  • Ask for a specific agreement and check whether the work moved or simply turned into another job for you to supervise.

You’ll choose one realistic change and a way to tell whether it gave you actual time or attention back.

Twelve short written lessons combine practical examples, a small practice and optional saved reflections. Move at your own pace and return whenever you need to.

The Motherhole

The Motherhole hosts women-only circles at Sensual Institute in Stockholm. These gatherings are for women who want to speak openly about desire, care, ageing and the experiences that rarely have room in everyday conversation. We write, listen and sometimes work with breath, sound or movement. You can share or simply listen. The circles explore three realms: Eros, Mother and Crone. You can find upcoming dates and tickets for these circles in the Sensual Institute events calendar.

Mother

Mother is the realm of care, responsibility and the cost of always being needed. In these women-only circles, we talk openly about motherhood, caring for others and the love, anger, tenderness and grief that can exist at the same time. Your own needs belong here too.
