Clear the Load
A practical approach to reducing mental load in business
This interactive 2-hour workshop is designed to help small business owners understand and reduce the mental load of running a business.
While many approaches focus on managing stress, this session takes a practical, structured approach to identifying what is driving overwhelm and provides simple, actionable strategies to reduce it at the source.
The workshop is guided by a clear, easy-to-follow framework that helps participants move from feeling stretched and reactive to feeling focused, organised, and more in control of their workload.

Presenter Bio: Emma Bennett from Em & Co Consulting
Em & Co Consulting
Emma is the founder of Em & Co Consulting, and the one you call when the backend of your business is stretched too thin (and let's be honest, so are you!)
I work with women juggling family, life, and business - often in rural or regional pockets of Australia, who are holding everything together but don’t have the systems, support, or space to grow. Sound familiar?
I created this business because I am you. I know what it’s like to run a business from the kitchen bench with a baby on your hip, emails piling up, and your brain ticking through five tabs at once. (It's probably more than five tabs, but we don't judge around here!)
I’ve been the glue holding work, home, and community together, and I know how heavy it gets.
My job? To lighten that load for women like you!
