It's time to stop doing it all. From remembering every little thing to cleaning up after everyone, the invisible load at home is real… and it's draining your energy, your creativity, and your joy.

In part two of the Feminine Freedom series, Carly shares a personal story that might sound way too familiar — a sunny Saturday turned into a cleaning fight with her fiancé. (Yep, we’ve all been there.) But instead of staying stuck in resentment, she made a bold move: she outsourced it.

This episode is a call to stop micromanaging your home life and start asking a new question: Who can help me? Not how can I do more. It's a shift that successful women make — and one that could give you your time, energy, and spark back.

Carly unpacks the conditioning that keeps women stuck in the domestic default, breaks down the emotional cost of doing it all, and offers real, doable mindset shifts that’ll help you reclaim your weekends (and your sanity).

Key Takeaways:

  • You’re not lazy — you’re over-functioning: And it’s time to stop.
  • “Who Not How” is your new mantra: Ask for help, outsource, delegate.
  • Control is costing you: Let go of perfection and create more magic.
  • Your time is valuable: Reclaim it. Protect it. Spend it on what actually matters.
  • Let your home support you. Not the other way around.
