My dream for 2026 is to hire something called a household manager, but I honestly knew very little about what that actually meant or how it worked. So naturally, I had to bring on an expert to help me (and you!) figure this whole thing out. Kelly Hubbell, founder of Sage Haus, walked me through everything from what a household manager actually does to the real costs involved.
Spoiler alert: it's way more affordable than I thought! If you've ever felt like you need to duplicate yourself, or if you're spending 20+ hours a week just managing one kid's appointments like I did recently, this conversation is going to be a game-changer.
Kelly breaks down exactly why this isn't just for wealthy families and how you can start small with just a few hours per week. This is the kind of support that takes over both the mental and physical load that's been weighing you down. I'm actively exploring this for our family, and after this conversation, I think you might be too.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- What a household manager actually does and how they differ from cleaners or nannies
- Real costs and budget-friendly ways to start with just 6-12 hours per week
- How to navigate partner resistance and privacy concerns when hiring help
- The step-by-step process of finding and vetting the right household manager
- Why this solution works for families at every income level and life stage
