The Lazy Genius Podcast

Because who actually knows how to parent teenagers? I definitely don’t know what I’m doing, but I’ll take a shot at talking about it.
If you’re not a parent but still want a dose of Monday morning Lazy Genius, try Episode 378: 13 Principles that Will Change Your Life. It’s The Lazy Genius Way’s birthday month, and that episode from a couple of years ago is all about the original 13 Lazy Genius principles, which could be a nice reminder this time of year.

As you can tell, today is not Monday. Today is Thursday, but on the occasional Thursday, we share a bonus episode from the archives that we think will be helpful this time of year. Since it’s the end of August and regular rhythms have already or are about to pick up, we’ve got to figure out how to get out the door. Here’s an episode from years’ past about getting out the door with not only the stuff we need but with kindness, too.

This is a phrase popularized by Barbara Brown Taylor, and it’s a simple question that helps you notice and contentedly appreciate where you are right now. What’s saving your life right now? My list is pretty light-hearted this season, but no matter what is on your list or mine, the practice is what matters. Notice what is happening in your life, the good things that make it lighter, easier, or better, and celebrate them.
