It’s easy to feel like this particular week is pretty condensed. It’s hard, for me at least, to let Thanksgiving just be Thanksgiving. So I want to take a few minutes to center us this week before everything ramps up, whatever that looks like for you and your family.Helpful Companion LinksClaim your November preorder bonus for The Lazy Genius Kitchen herePractical past Thanksgiving episodes: #133 - 10 Helpful Thanksgiving Strategies, #130 - The Lazy Genius Guide to Hosting Anything, #131 - The Perfect Thanksgiving TurkeyMindset and gratitude episodes: #38 - The Lazy Genius Practices Thankfulness, #182 - Loving People You Disagree WithGrateful: The Subversive Practice of Giving Thanks by Diana Butler BassDownload a transcript of this episode.

Today, I’m going to share four things to keep in mind when life feels like a fire hose (one is super duper practical, promise!).

#364 When Life Feels Like a Fire Hose

This is our quarterly episode where I take your problems and try and Lazy Genius them! Today, as always for these episodes, I’ll put the questions focused on kids and parenting at the end in one chunk so that those of you without kids don’t have to listen if you’d rather move along with your day.

#363 Office Hours with Kendra

Y’all know I love helping us deal with our to-do lists. Life is full of things to do, and sometimes we feel buried in all that wants our attention. So today’s episode is a short and sweet look at one simple strategy that might make a ton of difference for you.

#362 - A Simple Strategy for Your To-Do List

No matter your level of extroversion or introversion, your age, your life stage, or any other factor, we all need friends. I tend to focus on more concrete things on the show, but I think that one of the reasons we struggle to find and maintain meaningful relationships is partly a logistical one.

#361 - Two Things That Make Friendship Easier

Is this maybe the most appropriately named pep talk of all time? Quite possibly. I have a feeling a lot of you always feel tired. In fact, like me, you feel tired so often that it’s annoying at this point. You’re tired of being tired. Will we ever not be tired?! 

I think we all need some solidarity in this space as well as some practical help. My goal is for you to get both.
