What's Really Going On? A WAWH Conversation about Emotional Labor in Our Lives.
FREE Event
October 20, 2026
4:00 - 5:00pm PDT
We all know emotional labor takes a toll — but do we really know what it covers, or how unevenly it's carried?
Dr. Regina Lark leads an interactive conversation that challenges common assumptions about emotional labor, from the everyday work of anticipating needs and smoothing tensions to the added load so often placed on women of color, queer colleagues, and first-generation academics. Come away with new language for what you're experiencing and practical tools you can use right away.
Regina Lark, Ph.D., CPO® first joined the WAWH as a graduate student in 1992, and rejoined in the mid-20-teens. She is the founder of A Clear Path, a professional organizing and estate services company, and speaks nationally on the psychology of clutter, burnout, and emotional labor. She is co-author of Emotional Labor: Why a Woman's Work Is Never Done and What To Do About It (2nd ed. 08/2026), and she brings both academic grounding and decades of hands-on experience to her work on the invisible labor that shapes our lives.
