Sessions with women, by women and for women often carry a certain depth.
As part of thyssenkrupp Uhde India Limited’s IWD 2026 initiatives, Yellow&Blue facilitated a session on Mental Wellbeing & Resilience in Women, led by our Founder, Aparna Verma.
Three reflections stood out:
1. Mental Load ≠ Just Workload
Mental Load = Visible Tasks + Invisible Tasks + Emotional Labour
While visible responsibilities (work, home, caregiving) are acknowledged, it is the invisible tasks – planning, anticipating, organising and emotional labour – absorbing emotions, maintaining harmony that silently drive exhaustion and burnout.
2. Invisible Work Drives Burnout
A large part of what women do goes unseen – often even by themselves.
Unacknowledged, yet deeply felt.
In the session, it became clear that invisible tasks and emotional labour contribute far more to burnout than what is visibly measurable.
3. The Normalization of Exhaustion
Many women are conditioned to:
- Push through
- Prioritise others
- Avoid appearing vulnerable
Over time, exhaustion becomes normal; and that is where wellbeing begins to erode.
At Yellow&Blue, we believe that awareness is the first step towards building resilience at work. We thank the tkUIPL HR team for enabling this space for reflection.
Pause & reflect:
- What invisible load are you carrying?
- What do you do that goes unnoticed?
- What drains you the most?
