Simplify with Amanda B

130. Hire a Household Helper


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m talking to moms who are running a business and a household—and are tired of feeling behind. I share the story of my appendix surgery, when our home felt totally out of control, and how hiring a household helper/babysitter through a local Facebook group changed everything.

We’ll unpack what a household helper actually does (laundry, errands, tidying, returns, sheets, kid help) and why you don’t need to be “bursting at the seams” to justify getting support. You’ll hear common signs it’s time to get help—like constant resentment, never feeling caught up, or canceling work blocks because the house feels chaotic.

We’ll also dig into the mindset and money blocks: believing you “should be able to do it all,” feeling guilty for wanting help, or thinking it has to be a huge financial commitment.

You’ll leave this episode with permission to outsource at home, practical ideas for starting small, and a new way to think about trading a little money for time, capacity, and mental peace.
