64. September Bonus: Emotional labor on Gilmore Girls
Why are the women of Gilmore Girls often the ones holding everything (and everyone) together? In this episode, sisters Jackie and Catherine - who are also moms and feminists - explore the idea of emotional labor: the behind-the-scenes effort it takes to manage feelings, smooth over conflicts, and keep relationships running.We’ll talk about how this shows up on the show - whether it’s Emily’s role as corporate wife, Lorelai protecting Christopher from shame, or Rory juggling expectations—and how it connects to terms like the mental load, cognitive load, and invisible work (don’t worry, we’ll explain the differences!)From planning social events to supporting men to have healthy, quality relationships, the women of Stars Hollow are constantly doing the emotional heavy lifting - and we’re digging into why that matters.Enjoy this preview.
