1KHO 488: How to Make an Overwhelming Life Easier | Emily Ley, The Simplified Cookbook
Life is already complicated—dinner doesn’t have to be. In this refreshingly down-to-earth conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with Emily Ley, bestselling author, planner designer, and creator of The Simplified Cookbook, to talk about what it really takes to make family life easier. Emily shares her journey from climbing the corporate ladder to launching a wildly successful business that helps women ditch the overwhelm and embrace simplicity—starting with dinner. From “stupid easy” recipes and genius hacks like perpetual grocery lists to the power of deciding once (hello, pizza Fridays!), Emily offers practical tools that make daily life feel lighter and more joyful.
But this episode isn’t just about food—it’s about freeing up time and headspace to focus on what really matters. Emily and Ginny dive into the beauty of assembly meals, why three out of four goals is enough, and how Substack has become a space of encouragement for overwhelmed moms. Whether you’re trying to simplify your meal routine, build meaningful family traditions, or just find permission to let go of perfection, this conversation is your breath of fresh air.
