#344 Kendra Gets Personal Dec 11, 2023

Show notes

Today, we're doing something a little different. Kelly Corrigan, host of PBS's Tell Me More and the podcast Kelly Corrigan Wonders, is here to pull back the veil on some of the things that make me tick. We're talking about the real heart behind the Lazy Genius and how it can help you combat some of the end-of-the-year energy, plus what celebrity I'd be friends with and what live performance changed both of our lives.

#342 - How to Uncomplicate Your Holiday To-Do List Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

December is a unique month, and therefore, you need to approach that month and your long to-do list in a way that feels kind and human and grounded and like yourself. But also where you get it all done, at least all the things that matter.

I share this episode with Kind Big Sister Energy, meaning I think this works, and I think it could work for you, but as with anything I ever say, do what works for you. If this doesn’t, don’t do it.

Show notes

So we’ve tried to make the rest of 2023 easier, but even when we have a better understanding of what is going on, it can still be hard to get stuff done. When the rubber meets the road, it’s common to feel like we’re stalling out.

Today’s episode is like learning a language. I want to share some broader perspectives on getting your stuff done so that you can orient yourself better in your daily life. And of course there are some practical tips in here, too, have no fear. Let’s jump in.

Show notes

In this episode, I’m going to share ten things, and these things make gift wrapping easier, more enjoyable, more fun, and in some ways more meaningful than if I didn’t have these things. So if you love wrapping, hate wrapping, or are somewhere in between, I think this list will offer some good help wherever you are.

#338 - Lazy Genius Office Hours Oct 30, 2023

Show notes

We do these episodes about once a quarter where I answer your questions in more detail than I’m able to in an Instagram Ask-Me-Anything and more public than I might be able to in a DM. The idea here is to practice Lazy Geniusing situations together so that you can feel more equipped to do it on your own.

#336 - How to Lazy Genius Audiobooks Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

Y’all know I love an episode about reading, so I’m pumped about this. Audiobooks are one of my favorite ways to read, but that’s a recent development.

As a new-ish convert, I’m really excited to help you figure out your relationship with audiobooks and how to Lazy Genius them in your own life, whatever that means for you.
