Life has a way of drifting toward chaos—whether it’s towels in a heap, laundry piling up, or one too many plates wobbling on sticks. In this episode of the Joyfully Prepared Podcast, Wendi unpacks:
The story of the red towel and why her brilliant “mom system” didn’t work out.
Why entropy isn’t personal failure—it’s just how the world works.
The plate-spinning analogy and how it mirrors our daily lives.
Why giving yourself grace (and even a nap or a cry) is essential.
How to eliminate plates, delegate responsibilities, and simplify what remains.
Ways to combat entropy with rest, laughter, and practical action.
You’re not a hypocrite. You’re not failing. You’re a mom with a lot of plates—and you’re doing better than you think.
