Ep. 470: The 20-Hour-a-Week Job You're Not Getting Paid For

Kelly Hubbell joined Cherylanne Skolnicki on The Brilliant Balance Podcast to talk about the job most working parents don't realize they're doing: running the household. Kelly shares how tracking her own week turned up more than 20 hours of household management on top of a full-time career, why that work is separate from parenting and childcare, and what changes when a family starts with even a few hours of part-time help. They also get into the emotional side of delegating (guilt, judgment and letting go of control) and why home systems are what make support stick.
