Today, we’re going to tend to that energy and create some ways to make the rest of 2025 easier and also more joyful, grounded, and rooted in whatever matters to you.

#439 - Chores I Do Every Day, Part 2
Chores I Do Every Day, Part 1 is one of our most popular episodes we’ve ever done, but it was three and a half years ago. A lot has changed in our home and family in that amount of time, so I’m excited to share an updated version

#438 - Office Hours: Routines
We have an Office Hours episode once a quarter where you send in your questions and I answer them here on the podcast. This is the first time we’ve had a themed Office Hours episode, so that is very exciting. Before we get into a whole episode answering your questions about routines, remember that a Lazy Genius routine isn’t about the steps. It’s about where you’re wanting to go.

#437 - 10 Things I Always Do When I Have People Over
This is a community that values people and relationships and connection, and having people into our homes is so integral to us building homes, neighborhoods, and entire cultures that tend to each other, that enjoy being together, and that let each other in. I’m sharing what personally matters to me about hospitality and the ten things I always do to support it.

#436 - How to Pivot Gracefully: A Guide for the Sick, Tired, and Overwhelmed
What do we do when we’re hit with something out of our control within our own bodies, in the bodies of people we love and live with, or from the world itself? What do we do when we are forced to pivot away from what we planned because our energy or our attention can’t function the way they were when we made that plan? That’s what I want to consider today.
Spoiler: I don’t have an answer, not a concrete, formulaic one anyway. But I do have some thoughts about when we have to gracefully pivot.
