The Lazy Genius Podcast

Maybe you started August and September with a little more of a plan around dinner but ran out of freezer meals and ideas pretty quickly. If that’s the case, I hope this episode is super helpful as you figure out how to eat meals and feed your people if you have them even when schedules are bonkers.

Family meetings are a new addition for us, but they have been wildly successful and helpful to get everyone on the same page.

Protein, strength, body recomposition, weighted vests, magnesium, the new darling of the food world: cottage cheese… all of these things are everywhere. It feels like every other post I see on Instagram is about women’s health.

Life admin is a bear. There’s healthcare, insurance, home care, auto care, childcare, finances and budgeting and investing, taxes, schedules, legal stuff. And it does not include regular daily things like meals and chores and doing your job and taking a shower and going to sleep. I’m already sweating.

Last week, we decided what we’re done with, and this week we’re going to add instead of subtract. By the end of this episode, I want you to have identified one pleasurable thing that you enjoy and have a plan to add it to your life. One is better than zero, and six will lead to zero because it’s too big. So we’re going to start with one, and I’m really excited about it.
