Managing the mental load!

Jaspreet Gill
September 18, 2024

Hi there! Today, I want to share a client success story that feels like is part of our own journey.

Why, you ask?

Because it’s something many of us have experienced.

TODAY’s TOPIC

Women & mental load
Consequences of mental load
Managing the mental load - client spotlight

WOMEN & MENTAL LOAD

The mental load refers to the often invisible & unrecognized cognitive & emotional labor involved in managing a household or workplace.

Women disproportionately carry this mental load, even when both partners work full-time.

Examples include but not limited to: scheduling appointments, coordinating logistics, meal planning, emotional support and so on.

CONSEQUENCES OF MENTAL LOAD

The mental load can have significant consequences on various aspects of life, particularly for those who bear the brunt of it.

Here are some of the key impacts:

Burnout
Sleep deprivation
Reduced wellbeing
Impact on self-worth
Strained relationships
Increased stress & anxiety

MANAGING THE MENTAL LOAD

Managing the mental load refers to handling the often invisible & ongoing cognitive effort required to organize, plan & execute various tasks & responsibilities in daily life.

Allow me to share my client’s situation and what we did together!

📢I have opened handful of coaching spots for remainder of 2024. Send me a note if you are struggling with any of these. Remember you don’t have to do this alone💖

She was on the verge of a breakdown...

Despite having everything on paper, my client was:
• Overwhelmed and burnt out.
• Constantly spreading herself too thin.
• Paralyzed by others' opinions.

When we started working together, we uncovered THREE critical issues:
𝟭. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸-𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀
→ She couldn’t shut off work even on days off, leading to chronic overwhelm.
𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙙: We focused on mindset shifts and built micro habits to prioritize her physical and mental well-being.

𝟮. 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 & 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
→ Without proper time management and delegation, she was everywhere but nowhere.
𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙙: We introduced effective time management techniques to streamline her tasks both at work and home.

𝟯. 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲-𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴
→ Her inability to say ‘No’ left her overcommitted and stressed.
𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙙: We unearthed the root cause and made course corrections, empowering her to prioritize her needs.

The result?

📌 In Ayra’s Own Words:
Working with Jaspreet has greatly enriched my professional and personal growth. Her coaching has been vital in addressing my specific challenges and goals.

One major focus was time management, where the techniques she taught for prioritizing tasks and organizing my schedule have significantly enhanced my productivity. I now manage my time more effectively and balance my responsibilities better.

Additionally, Jaspreet’s coaching has been crucial in helping me overcome overthinking and improve my stress management. She has provided practical methods to stay grounded, focused, and calm, resulting in notable improvements in my performance and mental well-being.

The supportive and encouraging environment she creates has profoundly impacted my coaching experience, leaving me feeling empowered and ready to tackle new challenges.

I highly recommend Jaspreet’s coaching to anyone seeking to excel in both their personal and professional lives.

Remember nothing worth having comes easy. But it’s absolutely worth it.

Proud of Ayra for making herself a priority and taking that leap by investing in herself.

Who’s ready to put themselves first?

Until next week,

Jaspreet
