Housework, Guilt & Growth: The Unspoken Load Women Carry

 Housework, Guilt & Growth: The Unspoken Load Women Carry

If you’re still doing all the housework, that’s not just a personal load. That’s a business problem.

You Don’t Need More Time. You Need a Housewife. 🧼

Still Doing the Housework? THAT Might Be the Real Reason Your Business Feels Stuck

If your week still includes grocery shopping, folding laundry, and trying to be everyone’s personal chef, and you’re wondering why your business feels heavy and stuck?

This post is for you.

Because here’s what no one feels comfortable saying out loud:

And it’s one we need to solve, fast.

I know, I know, that line’s a little cheeky. But stick with me here.

You don’t need a fancy new planner or another productivity app. You need to stop using your most high-value, creative, CEO-level brain time… to do menial tasks that someone else can do better and faster.

Let me say it straight: Laundry is not your legacy.

Cleaning the fridge, prepping every meal, clearing the damn magic coffee table, that’s not what moves the needle in your business.

And yet… we still try to “do it all.” Why?

Because we’ve been told we can have it all, as long as we do it all.

And that, my friend, is bullshit.

The Myth That’s Keeping You Stuck

Here’s what no one tells you in those boss babe Instagram quotes:

✨ Men who “have it all” are rarely expected to do it all.

✨ Their success is often built on someone else holding it all together behind the scenes.

✨ And when we, women, mothers, business owners, try to build the same success while also doing the laundry, we burn out. Or we stagnate. Or both.

You’ve been trying to run a business with a brain full of everyone else’s needs.

And I’m here to tell you: It doesn’t have to be that way.

Your Business Is Suffering Because You’re Still the Household Manager

I see it all the time with my clients:

  • Brilliant women who can lead a team, but are still the only ones who remember when the milk runs out.

  • Mothers who are trying to raise a family and build a 6-figure business, while acting as everyone’s emotional support human.

  • Female entrepreneurs who are frustrated they’re not growing, because they’re stuck being both the boss and the housekeeper.

If this is you, I want you to hear this with love:

You are not failing.
You are just doing too much.

The Solution Isn’t “Do More”, It’s “Change Something”

If you’ve been listening to the podcast, you’ve heard me say it:

💬 If you’re not changing it, you’re choosing it.

💬 And if you’re choosing to carry it all, you’re choosing to stall your business growth.

You don’t need to do more.
You need to reclaim your premium brain time and use it for your business, not for dusting.

That means:
✔️ Letting someone else clean your house
✔️ Outsourcing laundry (yes, you can!)
✔️ Ordering groceries online, no more wasting Saturday mornings at the supermarket
✔️ Teaching your kids to manage their own stuff (because raising helpless humans is not the goal)

Let’s Make the Invisible Load VISIBLE

This is one of the most powerful things I get my clients to do:
🧠 Write down everything that goes into running your home, every mental and physical task for the house, the kids, the pets, and the partner.

We call it the Second Shift Sharer.

It makes the magic visible, so it can be shared.
Once you see it in front of you, you can delegate, outsource, or delete.

And yes, there’s a nerdy Google Sheet with pie charts and all (you know I love data).

This Is a Business Move, Not a Luxury

Hiring help isn’t indulgent.
Letting go of housework isn’t lazy.
Not doing it all doesn’t make you less of a woman, mother, or partner.

It makes you a smart CEO.

Because when your mind is free from the invisible load… your business can finally fly.

Ready to Ditch the Housework and Scale Like a CEO?

If you’re nodding along and feeling the gut punch of truth in this , good.

It means you’re ready to do something different.

This isn’t a fluffy chat. It’s a focused, strategic session where we look at what’s actually keeping you stuck (hint: it’s probably not your marketing) and build a plan that gets your time, your energy, and your momentum back.

You’re not meant to build a business and run a household alone.
It’s time to choose something better.

You in?
