In this Serious Lady Business conversation, Leslie talks with Kelly Hubbell, founder of Sage Haus, about why “moms need teams too” and how running a household like a business—complete with roles, systems, and support—can reclaim time, reduce burnout, and unlock growth at work and at home. Kelly shares how calculating her own “invisible labor” (about 22 hours/week) led her to hire a house manager/family assistant, then build Sage Haus to help other families do the same through tailored job descriptions, rigorous vetting, and a Home Systems Playbook that documents expectations so support can plug in seamlessly. They normalize household help across budgets, discuss practical first hires (meal prep, laundry, after-school coverage), and show the ripple effects on mental health, relationships, entrepreneurship, and community—framing this not as a luxury, but a high-ROI investment in family well-being.
