  • I listen religiously

    I love Kendra and this podcast! I listen every week and have read one of her books (and own another…) I love her approach to real life problems. My friend and I will find ourselves saying “well Kendra would say xyz” or “oh yeah, I got that from Kendra’s latest podcast”. And she’s a hoot.

  • A Bright Spot in my Week

    I like listening to Kendra every week. I’m a senior citizen who is always interested in how the younger women are managing homes and families. And a lot of times, I find tips to make our senior life easier. A lot of common sense and thought comes from these episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Live in This Season
Q: Given my own emotional and physical exhaustion, how can I start small with just being a tiny bit more fun?
Adachi suggests separating the parent's own feelings from assumptions about how the family sees her, acknowledging the grief of carrying the emotional work, and giving herself permission to have fun in her own way. She says fun is not limited to one parent or one style.
How to Take the Stress Out of Laundry
Q: I simply need to figure out a better system for deciding how much fun spontaneity I can manage in each week and day.
Adachi recommends not trying to systemize fun, but instead checking in with personal and family energy when invitations arise. She also suggests recording how activities felt in the moment and avoiding firm conclusions based only on tired end-of-season reflection.
What Is and Isn’t Working for Me This Fall
Q: I would love some help from The Lazy Genius in listening to music. What to listen to and when to listen to it?
Kendra recommends choosing one regular time to play music, then reducing the choices by picking playlists or albums and deciding whether to explore variety or focus on a category. She suggests starting with a short trial and asking a music-loving family member or friend to help choose what to play.
When Your People Don’t Follow the Plan
Q: What should Michelle do about library books and keeping the living room organized around them?
Start small with a single shared list, create a routine the day before the library visit, and use a basket or stacks to manage books temporarily, with flexibility for how consistently it works.
#480 - Office Hours
Q: Melissa asks how to implement a simple routine for cleaning, meal planning, laundry, exercise, and family emails when time is tight.
Kendra advises starting with one small, manageable task and building gradually. She emphasizes containment and permission to stop building a big system, focusing on sustainable, repeatable actions rather than sweeping changes.
