The Lazy Genius Podcast

Every summer, I go into the season with big plans. As my kids grow and as our season of life changes, my approach to the summer feels a little different each time. It can even occasionally feel like starting over. That’s why I love using The Lazy Genius Method to think through the summer and make those plans happen in the most Lazy Genius way possible. I’m sharing what I’m doing in hopes this season and maybe you’ll hear an idea or two you want to try, too.
