If you've ever felt like you need to duplicate yourself just to keep up with all the appointments, meals, laundry, and mental gymnastics of running your home, this conversation is for you.

Kelly Hubbell, founder of Sage Haus, wrote down every job it takes to run her household and it came out to more than 20 hours a week (!!!!)

In this episode, Kelly breaks down exactly what a house manager is, why this kind of support isn't reserved for wealthy families, and how you can start small with just a few hours per week. It's help that lifts both the mental AND the physical load off your plate. I'm actively exploring this for our family, and after this conversation, I think you might be too.

In this episode:

→ What a house manager actually does (and how it's different from a cleaner or a nanny)
→ Handing off a task vs. handing off ownership, and why the second is MOST helpful
→ How a house manager works for families at every income level and life stage
→ Real costs, and budget-friendly ways to start with just 6–12 hours per week

The mental load is real. But lately I've been asking myself a question: is all the content online about the mental load - actually helping me - or is it making me *more* resentful?

That question got even louder after I recently broke my toe (OUCH!!) and suddenly couldn't do all the things I normally do around our house.

Today I chat about what I noticed when my family stepped up, the surprising reframe that's helping change the way I'm looking at home responsibilities (and how I talk to my kids about chores), and why I'm being much more careful about the stories I let myself rehearse about the mental load.

If you've been feeling a little too familiar with resentment lately, I hope this one offers a refreshing perspective that I know I certainly needed, too. <3
