Putting AI in the middle of your mental load

so you don't have to be.

I'm a mom of two and a Director in tech and AI. For more than ten years I've worked on the hard questions behind the tools we all use: what's private, what's safe, what's secure, and who gets to decide.

And then at home, I juggle three calendars, remember a teacher gift, and text myself a reminder I'll definitely forget to read. Sound familiar?

I started MentAILoad to get things off my brain, with the same guardrails I'd want for my own family, and to pass every one of those solutions along to you. Pull up a chair.

The Life Load Audit

This isn't about your to-do list. It's about the work that never shows up on it: the always-on planning, the remembering, the emotional labor. In about 4 minutes, you'll see exactly how much is on you, what AI can take off your plate, and what's worth handing to someone else.

The MentAILoad method

Not another AI tool or app to download. A method for the AI you already use.

Bring whichever AI you like. The MentAILoad method is how you think, ask and hand off, so you get better results from it every time, with guardrails built in.

See it.

Name everything you're carrying, including the invisible work nobody sees you do: the remembering, the planning, the noticing.

Sort it.

Decide what truly needs you, what your AI can take, and what needs a human. And yes, we'll question every "only me."

Share it.

Use your AI to write the handoff: the outcome, the steps, how you like it done. You just send it.

Run it.

Check-ins and due dates so it actually sticks, instead of quietly drifting back to you.

Pick your
next move

Wherever you are with AI, skeptic or power user, there's a seat at the table for you.

Same AI. Very different results.

Every new assistant acts as a delegate, which quietly makes AI the new tracker while you're still carrying it all. The method is what changes that.

AI without a method

A tool, not a solution

Great at logistics, silent on fairness. You rewrite drafts, the work stays invisible, and it all still sits with one person, now with a bot to manage.

AI with the MentAILoad method

The load gets shared, fairly

You ask better, so your AI gets it right sooner. You see what you're carrying, hand the right pieces to the right people, and set check-ins so it sticks. Guardrails come built into every step.
