92. Buying Back Your Time as a Mom: How to Delegate Without Guilt with Christine Landis

So much of motherhood isn’t the visible work; it’s the invisible remembering, anticipating, planning, and holding it all together. And for many of us, that mental load is what leaves us the most exhausted.In this conversation, I’m joined by Christine Landis, founder of Peacock Parent and creator of Proxy. Before becoming a mom, Christine built and sold an eight-figure company as a CEO who deeply understood systems and delegation. Motherhood, however, challenged her identity, her relationship with productivity, and her understanding of what success really means. We talk about delegating the doing and the thinking, navigating guilt when outsourcing at home, and how buying back your time can create space for a more intentional life.In this episode, we cover:The identity shift from high-level career to early motherhoodUntangling self-worth from productivityThe difference between delegating tasks and delegating mental loadWhy “it’s easier if I just do it” keeps us overwhelmedPractical, accessible ways to outsource supportReducing decision fatigue and protecting your mental energyIf you’ve been carrying more in your head than anyone can see and wondering whether there’s a different way to do this, this conversation offers both permission and practical steps forward.MENTIONS IN THE EPISODE:Learn more about Proxy, a private thinking partner for the mental load: https://peacockparent.com/proxy/ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/askproxy You can text Proxy at 820-732-2625 to try 15 messages for free.
