#69: The Lazy Genius Summer Detox Aug 06, 2018

Show notes

August feels crazy because it is crazy. We're one step into summer, one step into fall, and feel like we're going to fall over. Plus, our kids have been with us for 578 years and we need a break. In this episode, let's reset our minds and change our posture a little. It's okay for motherhood to be hard, but it doesn't have to paint the entire picture. If you're home with kids, this episode is especially for you.

#68: The Lazy Genius Tries New Things Jun 18, 2018

Show notes

In this last episode of the summer, I share the gift of trying new things. We're often afraid of failing, but if we fail to build up our Try New Things muscle, those new things we so desperately long for will be harder to find.

Hear what I'm working on this summer, what new things have entered my life, and why this summer break is part of that. I hope you try some new things, too!

#66: The Lazy Genius Yard Sale Jun 04, 2018

Show notes

Yard sales sound good in theory, but the piles of stuff, mean hagglers, and rainy mornings ruin everything. Is it possible to have a yard sale and not hate the entire process? Definitely. In this episode, you'll be set up for yard sale success from organizing your stuff, signs, haggling, pricing, and everything in between.

#62: The Lazy Genius Summer Strategy: Mindset May 07, 2018

Show notes

Even now in May, summer already feels overwhelming. We want to get a lot done, rest, have time alone and away from our kids, and figure out the perfect balance between structure and freedom. While that balance might not actually exist, a new mindset can certainly help you try.

In this, the first episode in a four-part series, we're going to develop a strategy for the summer, and as always around here, we begin with a little reframing. Listen in.

Stuff Mentioned In This Episode:

Emily P. Freeman, author of four books, including Simply Tuesday that is a lovely reminder of the beauty of smallness
John Freeman, husband to Emily and non-profit director who ran that parenting workshop I mentioned
the episode about opening and closing ceremonies around holiday time... the concepts work for summer, too

#61: The Lazy Genius Exercise Routine Apr 30, 2018

Show notes

We need some reframing when it comes to exercise. If you love working out, you might not find this topic necessary. If you think working out is the worst, you're probably girding your loins against the incoming guilt.

In The Lazy Genius Exercise Routine, you'll get zero guilt. In fact, I think you'll feel free to approach exercise in a way that makes sense without feeling like you have to look like an Olympian.
