This episod... more

If you’re listening to a time management self-help podcast like this one, you’re probably the captain of your home. You’re the one with the ideas, and that’s wonderful. But it’s tiring, too. If you feel like your home would work better if your spouse... more

Why better? Well, bucket lists, while wonderful, also carry a lot of pressure. So today, let’s make a list of favorite things you love about fall – things you want to eat, drink, cook, see, smell, watch, listen to, and do before we hit Thanksgiving. ... more

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 ... more

  • Best practical , life changing podcast!

    I have been listening to Kendra’s podcast for 4 years, all of her practical tips and gentle encouragement have been phenomenal! She helps to stop, pause and get away from the hustle culture and align and live your life according to what you value most, not what the culture around you tells you to do. A must listen to anyone!!!

  • The best podcast!

    I’m a weekly listener and have been for a few years! The most recent episode set of “decide what you’re done with and decide what you want more of” were perfectly timed as we shift into fall rhythms/routines. I love the way Kendra breaks down steps to make things feel manageable. She has a such a kind voice and is really funny! Bonus: my

    kids even enjoying listening with me on Mondays!

  • Episode “decide what you’re done with “

    When I saw the title of this episode, I thought it does not sound like something Kendra would say. Then she said you don’t have to make a list…. Her suggestions were spot on. Things like people pleasing and perfection. Listening to her is like hanging out with a friend who reminds you you’re doing great and to be nice to yourself. I loved this episode.

  • The vibes are it

    Kendra‘s approach and vibes are rather fresh air and I think everyone should listen to this podcast: every woman and every man who takes on house responsibilities, so hopefully that’s everyone.

    I was only a true crime podcast listener and then picked up your book at the library, The Lazy Genius. (I’m very fortunate to work right next door to a very lovely library)I am so happy I picked up your book! This podcast is full of wonderful advice and love listening to Office Hours.
