How My Home COO helps you hand off the mental load — and finally breathe again.

People often ask me what it’s really like to hand over parts of their home life to My Home COO.

Here’s the truth: It feels like exhaling after holding your breath for too long.

You know that moment when you finally click “book flight,” confirm the hotel, or send the group text that’s been lingering for weeks? Your shoulders relax just a bit. That tiny sense of calm is exactly what the first 30 days with your personal COO deliver — multiplied.

Especially this time of year, when Thanksgiving is approaching, kids’ activities collide with travel plans, and you’re trying to remember which aunt has the best stuffing recipe.

Let’s walk through what those first four weeks actually look like.

Week 1: Discovery + Assessment

It starts with your first call.

No complicated onboarding or long questionnaires — just a focused conversation where we unpack what’s keeping you up at night and what you wish you could take off your list.

Maybe you’ve got travel coming up, a house project half-finished, a frustrating loop of "what's for dinner?", or a family schedule that’s spiraled into chaos.

During this week, we map it all out:

What’s urgent
What’s draining you most
What success looks like for the month ahead

Then, we prioritize together — so you can hang up knowing, “Okay, someone else has this now.”

Week 2: Quick Wins

This is where relief begins to set in.

You’ll start seeing immediate progress as we tackle your highest-impact tasks: the things that have been taking up space in your head for too long.

A few examples of what might happen in your second week:

We build your Thanksgiving travel plan — flights, hotel, rental car, all researched and organized.
We confirm holiday childcare options and backup coverage for travel days.
We set up a short vendor list for that home project you’ve been meaning to schedule before the holidays.

By the end of this week, you’ll have tangible results — not just a plan, but things checked off your list.

Week 3: System Setup

Once we’ve cleared the immediate pressure, we shift to building your personal rhythm.

Together, we establish your communication cadence and shared systems:

A weekly communication cadence established with your personal COO
Your personalized “Delegation Dashboard” for tasks and updates
Shared access to reference docs or links you already use
Optional use of the Weekly Command Center to track what’s coming next

You’ll start to notice: the same executive efficiency you bring to your job is now mirrored in your home life.

Instead of spinning plates, you’re running a system.

Week 4: Rhythm + Relief

By week four, everything feels lighter.

The tasks are moving smoothly. Your personal COO is anticipating needs before you even mention them. The travel details are handled, the vendors are booked, and your holiday prep plan is written down.

Clients often tell me this is when their spouse or colleague says, “You seem calmer lately.”

And they’re right — because once you stop running your home from memory, your whole life runs better. You can see around the corner. and you can walk into your home knowing it's running more smoothly versus dreading which project will be staring at you next.
