EP: 18 How to Lighten the Mental Load: Systems and Delegation for Busy Moms with Hannah Morgan

On today's episode of This is How She Does It, my guest is Hannah Morgan — working mom of three, systems genius, and founder of Heron House Management, the first-ever virtual house management service built specifically for busy parents.

With a background in operations and project management, Hannah knows exactly how to build the kind of systems that reduce stress, lighten the mental load, and help families function with more ease and equity. She’s on a mission to help moms stop doing it all alone — because managing home life shouldn’t be a solo act.

If you’re the default parent — the one who keeps all the balls in the air and holds everything in your head — and you’re completely exhausted by the responsibility, this conversation will feel like a lifeline. We talk about:

• Letting go of control and learning to delegate at home (not just at work)

• Building systems that actually support your family and your well-being

• How outsourcing the tasks you hate — like camp forms, contractor calls, and gift tracking — creates more space for what lights you up

Hannah brings so much energy, heart, and practical wisdom to this episode. If you're ready to stop surviving and start living with more freedom, clarity, and time for yourself, then this one’s for you.
