About the Episode:
Ever feel like you’re drowning in laundry, mental load, and school forms—and somehow still supposed to be creating magical family memories and raising emotionally healthy, body-confident kids?
In this episode, Dr. Whitney sits down with Christine Landis, founder of Peacock Parent and the concierge delegation service Proxy, to talk about exactly how parents can offload the stuff that’s draining them—and do it proudly. Christine isn’t just preaching about letting go of perfection—she’s built an entire platform that helps families figure out what to delegate, how to find trustworthy help, and why it’s not selfish to want more time for joy.
They dive deep into the messy emotions behind outsourcing—from privilege and guilt to fear of judgment—and get super honest about how buying back your time isn’t about being bougie, it’s about being strategic. (And yes, you’re still a good mom if you don’t scrub your own toilet.)
Key Takeaways:
📦 Outsourcing Isn’t Lazy—It’s Leadership
Christine reframes outsourcing as running your home like a business. Delegation isn’t failure—it’s smart CEO-level decision-making. (And your kids benefit when you’re less burnt out and more present.)
💸 Time Is a Currency—Spend It Wisely
Whether it’s paying for a meal service or handing grocery shopping off to Instacart, what you don’t spend time on matters just as much as what you do. And sometimes the ROI of peace, presence, and advocacy for your kid is worth every penny.
🤯 Privilege, Shame, and the Elephant in the Room
We get real about how money, class, and cultural expectations play into the conversation around “doing it all.” Christine and Whitney talk openly about acknowledging privilege, while also challenging the guilt that keeps so many parents stuck in the hustle.
🛁 She Outsources Bath Time (and You Can, Too)
One of the most powerful moments? Christine shares that she delegates bath time to her nanny so she and her husband can sit down and talk. It’s not about what you “should” do—it’s about what makes your family actually thrive.
🧠 Delegating Creates Mental Space for What Really Matters
For neurodivergent families or parents juggling intense emotional labor, outsourcing can be the difference between crisis-mode and proactive, connected parenting. Dr. Whitney shares how it helps her show up for her child—and herself.
