I have been trying for LITERALLY YEARS to find out how to use mixed voice. My head voice now bottoms out around E3 and Chest can go comfortably to E4 no matter the time of day. So there is easily an octave overlap. I have tried videos from over 15 people and tried everything from voices to different placements. I even figured out how to do SUBHARMONICS IN MY HEAD VOICE! But I for the love of god cannot comprehend how to do mixed voice.

yo dude do you still need help
It's actually quite simple
In mixed voice you use a different coordination of muscles to support the TA and CT muscles
So in chest voice, you can think of it as only the TA muscle being active with some CT support but that's not important
But in head voice there's absolutely no TA, only the CT muscle
And of course some surrounding musculature that's not important

I have been trying for LITERALLY YEARS to find out how to use mixed voice. My he...
But here's the revolutionary part: in mixed voice, you have extra musculature involved that allows you to thin the TA and thicken the CT
So first step is discovering that coordination
If you can do flageolet (the register that sounds like slightly thinner falsetto and is above falsetto, you can't liptrill into it but you can easily sing in it by pushing falsetto) that's already mixed voice coordination
Now if you don't have access to flageolet or can't get it right now by simply pushing falsetto higher (without tension) then you can also rely on fry to discover mixed voice
Just do vocal fry, then do it on chest notes. Like combine chest notes with fry
Then do that above E4 and see if it breaks into mix
And it won't be an attractive mix. It will sound 99% head
In fact this is called mx2 and it has absolutely no TA activation, just CT
Once you have that, you can connect it to chest (mx1) by doing swells in notes like A3 or C4 where you have access to quiet chest voice
