Book Description:
Mental labor, or the mental load, involves the many — and extremely varied — tasks that are involved in managing a household and/or workplace. This topic has exploded over the past
• Birthdays, Celebrations, Holidays, and Vacations
• Volunteering, Church Activities, and Hobbies
• Caregiving
• Retirement
Finally, the book discusses ways to not add to the mental load of others
and how we can more evenly distribute the mental labor between both
sexes for future generations.
Author Interview:
Do you have another profession besides writing?
Yes, I’m an independent grant consultant during the day. I’ve done grant work now for over 19 years and love it! I get to write every day for good causes. It requires a lot of strategy, thought, and planning. It’s a perfect career for me. My business has grown recently and I’ve even hired sub-contractors.
What genre do you write and why?
I’ve been writing self-help books for almost fours years and it started completely by accident. Before 2017 I considered myself a novelist. That summer, I signed up for a course on how to get a book published. I didn’t realize it was for non-fiction writers only! I could have canceled and gotten my money back, but while walking my dogs one evening, I realized that I could easily write a book about bringing joy to the workplace. People had told me for years I did things differently than others to make my co-workers happy. I sat down with a pen and notebook a few days later and suddenly had an eight-page outline! I’ve been a self-help gal ever since.
Where do you write?
I actually like to dictate my books into my iPad while it rests on a music stand. Sometimes I’ll stand and pace as I go, sometimes I’ll sit on my couch. It saves my hands and wrists!
Favorite dessert?
My husband will tell you that I am a s’mores fanatic. I normally eat healthy things, but get me near a campfire, graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate, and it’s all over. And I can NEVER have just one!
Name a quirky thing you like to do.
I love to do hoop dancing, which is essentially dancing with a hula-hoop. It’s been a huge stress reliever for me over the years, not to mention fantastic cardio exercise.
