As we approach Thanksgiving, Elle explores how women become the unsung architects of holiday magic, managing everything from cognitive and emotional labor to the physical demands of hosting. Through historical context and modern examples, she discusses how this traditionally wasn't "women's work", but evolved into a gendered responsibility that impacts women's mental and physical well-being. Elle emphasizes the importance of recognizing and redistributing this invisible labor, challenging listeners to raise their expectations and break free from exhausting holiday traditions that leave women overworked and underappreciated.
