BONUS: Sisterhood, Songwriting, and Vulnerability Hangovers with Joseph Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

Today is a very special bonus episode where I get to talk to one of my favorite bands in the whole world, Joseph. They have a new album releasing tomorrow, April 28, called The Sun. It is an album full of honesty, compassion, joy, and it also just sounds rad.

Today, I talk with the sisters about what it’s like being sisters who also make music together, what you can do to help develop healthy relationships among your kids, especially twins, and how they process singing their personal stories so vulnerably from stage.

#311 What's Saving My Life Right Now Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

This special episode is presented by KFC. KFC chicken nuggets have made their debut and they truly are the perfect chicken nugget. Each one is hand-breaded with KFC’s Original Recipe and absolutely packed with flavor. So basically what I’m saying is...KFC took all the magic that is a bucket of chicken and packed it into one small but equally amazing chicken nugget.

And since KFC chicken nuggets are something that saves dinner for my family, I thought I’d share more examples of that in today’s episode.

#310 - How to Pivot Around Any Obstacle Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

One of the most beautiful things about being a Lazy Genius is that you can Lazy Genius literally anything. Some of those solutions are linear, but frustratingly, a lot of them are not. There isn’t always a straight line from a problem to a solution. Or is there? Today’s episode is as close as we’re going to get, and we’re going to get really really close.
