If you’re the one who keeps it all running, you know mental load—the quiet, relentless effort that holds daily life together.
Do you ever feel like your family’s default project manager, constantly dealing with an unseen, endless list of tasks? This is mental load: the exhaustive work of understanding, planning, and doing the countless tiny yet crucial details that keep life running smoothly. You know what needs doing, when, and how, often invisible to everyone but you. This isn’t just “feeling busy”—it’s a significant burden, disproportionately carried, leading to overwhelm and unfairness.
At Heart & Mind Insights, we understand. We recognize the profound fatigue, resentment, and anxiety that come with bearing this unseen responsibility. It doesn’t have to be this way. We offer personalized counseling via telehealth, specifically designed to help you reimagine your invisible to-do list and establish true fairness in your life.
Our approach to telehealth provides an individualized, evidence-based roadmap and dedicated support to help you make the invisible visible, practice effective communication, and redefine your role in your home. We’ll help you navigate relationship dynamics and build personal resilience, so you can move away from an endless to-do list (that only you can see) to rediscovering authentic connection and joy.
