What if outsourcing your household tasks was the key to reclaiming your time, energy, and peace of mind?

In this insightful episode of the Present & Powerful Podcast, host Lyndsey Akers sits down with Kelly from Sage Haus—a trailblazer in modern household management—to talk about redefining what support looks like for today’s families.

Born from her own experience with burnout, Kelly shares the personal journey that led her to launch Sage Haus, a service designed to match overwhelmed families with trained house managers who bring order, relief, and calm to the chaos of daily life. From creating systems that support your unique lifestyle to dismantling the stigma of asking for help, this conversation is a masterclass in how thoughtful outsourcing can transform your home, your mindset, and your capacity.

Together, Lyndsey and Kelly dig into what it really takes to run a household with intention, how to make empowered decisions about investing in support, and why asking for help is one of the most courageous (and strategic) moves a parent can make.
