There’s a moment in modern motherhood where you wake up and realize…I literally cannot do this all by myself anymore. It’s usually somewhere between the dishes piling up, the carpool schedule making your head spin, and your toddler screaming for the snack you forgot to pack. But… guess what… you’re not supposed to do it alone.

But because of the financial pressure, the guilt and shame, and the sheer overwhelm of where to start… many of us do. We try to do it all. We exhaust ourselves trying. Until we hit that wall. And then maybe… maybe… we finally start to entertain the idea that we need a village.

If you’ve been following this blog series, you already know we’ve tackled the financial barriers to community building, and the emotional barriers… guilt, shame, and stigma. So now, finally, we get to the fun part… ACTION! Let’s do this!… But wait… where do we start?

The Confidence to Begin

If this is you, arms in the air, shouting “I’m in!” with no idea what comes next… you’re not alone. 

Honestly, this is exactly how I came into motherhood myself: heart full of intention, head buzzing with hope, and zero clue what lay ahead.

There’s nothing wrong with that attitude. In fact, I love that attitude. It’s the boldness of that “I’ve got this” spirit that I want you to hold onto as we move up and over the final barrier to building your support system. This is exactly why I created Sage Haus.

I had fellow moms asking me left and right how we went from barely surviving as a family of five to absolutely thriving. They’d heard about a household dream team… like bringing in a meal prep chef, a house manager,  or even a rockstar babysitter… and they wanted the same thing.

And now that you’re here, saying yes to more support, I want to be your guide through this next step.

Step One: Talk With Your Partner

Like any meaningful decision, the best place to start is a conversation with your partner. Let them know what you’ve been thinking about, what you’ve read, what you’re feeling, and what your research has shown.

If you’ve taken the Sage Haus Quiz, you already have data on how much time you’re spending managing your household… something that can really help get your partner on board.

Step Two: Start Hiring Your Village

Now onto the exciting part: hiring your first support team member.

Whether you’re dreaming of a house manager, a part-time nanny, a meal prep chef, or a cleaning service… the logistics matter. The questions I get from moms in this stage are always some version of:

• How did you find this person?
• Where do you look?
• What do they actually do for you?
• How much do you pay them?
• How did you make sure they do things your way?

And my personal favorite:

“Wait… people actually find this?”

Yes. People do this. I did this. And you can do this, too.

But let’s add to that list some questions you might not even know to ask:

• What interview questions should I use?
• What red flags should I look out for?
• What makes someone in this role truly successful?
• How do I pay them? Track hours? Provide feedback?
• How long does it take to onboard someone?

These questions… and all the other juicy details… are exactly how Sage Haus can help you!
