The Permission Gap: Why Mothers Wait Years to Ask for Help (and What It Costs)

Kelly Hubbell was a guest expert at Plan-a-Palooza 2026, Megan Sumrell's sold-out planning workshop for working women and moms. In her training, “The Permission Gap,” Kelly breaks down why so many mothers wait years before they'll hire help at home, the guilt and cultural pressure behind that wait, and what it costs families in health, relationships and careers. She closes with a practical way to give yourself permission to buy back your time.
