Do you want the truth?
Outsourcing Doesn’t Have to Break-the-Bank. Parenting Smarter, Not Harder with Christine Landis, CEO of Peacock Parent
Christine Landis is the founder of Peacock Parent and a former fintech CEO who sold her company for eight figures. After stepping out of the boardroom and into motherhood, Christine quickly realized that parenting came with a whole new kind of pressure—especially when it came to managing time, expectations, and the never-ending mental load. Using the same skills she once used to scale a company, Christine created Peacock Parent to help modern families outsource low-joy tasks, delegate smartly, and reclaim their time without shame.
In this episode, we get into the good stuff such as why moms shouldn’t try to do it all, what “buying back your time” actually looks like, and how hiring support doesn’t have to break the bank. Christine shares how she created a platform to help parents like her find vetted, affordable help—without the shame or stress. If you’re feeling stretched thin or silently screaming into your crockpot, this one’s for you.
