  • Never Miss an Episode

    I’ve been following Kendra’s work for years (blog, podcast, books - any content she creates, I devour). I look forward to her podcast drops every Monday, and I listen without fail. Even if the title of the episode doesn’t seem relevant to me, I always learn something that I can apply in my own life. I talk about her like she’s a friend (my mom and husband don’t bat an eye when I say “Kendra says…”), and the Lazy Genius Principles have an integral role in how I approach life. 10/10 would recommen... more

    I’ve been helped and entertained in equal parts for ten years by Kendra! Such a wonderful podcast, whatever I need help with I can usually find an episode on. Love it so much, Kendra has the kind big sister energy that is wholesome, helpful, and uplifting. 10/10

  • So Kendra said…

    This podcast has changed my life! She has the best ideas that have made my life so much better! And she has a way of convincing you that her ideas are the better way….and they always are! Always! Often when I’m talking to my bestie in Chicago, I will tell her “Let me tell you the newest idea I got from our friend Kendra….” The funny thing is that my Chicago friend is the one who told me about The Lazy Genius first! :) My only regret is that I didn’t find her earlier!

  • Helpful, practical, kind

    This podcast has been so helpful to me. Not only does Kendra provide countless practical insights that are simple and achievable, she shares them with a kindness and humor that erases shame. All of her podcasts and books have had a huge impact on my daily life.

  • Some Solid Ideas

    In general, some helpful tips and things to keep in mind.

    At times I feel alienated from topics as I’m a single parent with very little access to assistance from anyone else. It can be difficult to hear about struggles from people who have supportive partners, extended family, or have the ability to hire people to help with their household needs. Here I am just treading water.
