October 26How to Live in This Season
We are on the tailend of October. This weekend is Halloween, and then it’s time to enter November, a month often full of busyness, coziness, and lots of anticipatory stress as you get ready for the holiday season.
This episode is a workshop on how to live in your season on a practical, applicable level. My goal for you at the end of this episode is that you will have identified what matters about the next few weeks.

October 19What Is and Isn’t Working for Me This Fall
Fall is our busiest time of the year, which is true for a lot of people and families, and sometimes it’s helpful to hear another person’s experience. Maybe something that’s working for me could be a solution for you, or you could start to notice that problems in your own life and schedule aren’t as massive as they seem and you can let them go. So this list is not prescriptive but I hope it gets your wheels turning on how to make your own fall a little easier.

Laundry is universal. Everyone wears clothes, generally every day. Those clothes get dirty and must be washed, sometimes every day. It’s just a constant part of life that will not stop.

Let’s make it as simple and pleasant and compassionate and functional as possible so that we’ll still be able to do it without losing our minds.

September 14#486 - How to Get Stronger Without Making It Your Whole Life
Protein, strength, body recomposition, weighted vests, magnesium, the new darling of the food world: cottage cheese… all of these things are everywhere. It feels like every other post I see on Instagram is about women’s health.
I think that physically caring for ourselves is a fairly universal hope, especially for women. But we’re still figuring out how to do that with wisdom and reason. Luckily, you can Lazy Genius anything, including this, so let’s do it.

September 07#485 - 10 Essential Rules for Life Admin
Life admin is a bear. There’s healthcare, insurance, home care, auto care, childcare, finances and budgeting and investing, taxes, schedules, legal stuff. And it does not include regular daily things like meals and chores and doing your job and taking a shower and going to sleep. I’m already sweating.
This stuff feels so huge, sometimes unbearably so. Here are 10 essential rules for life admin (and they’re probably not the rules you’re expecting).
