Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 8.1k ratings
  • Very American-centric and not very accessible to listeners who live outside of the United States. I had been misled to think the podcasts would include life hacks accessible to anyone, but many of her recommendations include very specific brands and stores. If you live in a country where these stores are not available (Trader Joe's for example), the recommendations are not accessible, and the podcast actually feels non-inclusive of listeners who do not live in the United States.

  • Love her.

    I love Kendra, but sadly I had to unfollow when the podcast/newsletter got too political. I will miss my Monday listens.

  • Hooray for Monday Episodes!

    I look forward to seeing a new episode on Mondays, so I can listen while I run errands. Kendra discusses a lot home management topics (as well as other things). I appreciate the insight as a SAHM. I don’t need to agree or relate to everything to enjoy her perspective. The entire collection of episodes and quality/thoughtfulness that is put into them is definitely worth five stars.

  • Episodes 454 & 427

    In 2025 I took a year off from the podcast app just to be present to those in my real life and build community. It was exactly what I needed.

    This week was my first week listening to your podcast again, and I looked for a title that I thought would fit something I needed. The chores for normals was really helpful. But it was the call back to episode 427 regarding what to do when we feel

    overwhelmed that really spoke to me. Making use of the Lazy Genius Principles, something so practical, that ... more

  • Life Line Podcast

    I keep coming back to Kendra’s podcast and books over and over again. I think there are similar messages out there but the way she puts it in the frame work of being a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesn’t is the best I have found. Thank you Kendra and team for all you do, it has blessed and encouraged me greatly 🩷✨
