    #365 - How to Have an Easier Maycember

    We know the feeling of Maycember. May has a similar energy to the beautiful chaos of December, but we forget it’s like that until we’re in it. I never remember how crazy May becomes until literally right now, and then it feels too late. If that’s you, this episode will help.

Saving my life right now!

Kendra, I cannot express to you how much you have helped me. I have struggled with so many things for so long. Listening to your podcast and reading your books has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life! I’m sitting here at 6:30 at my morning routine and I’m starting my day as I have always wanted to, but never seemed to manage to make a routine, in my tidy and calming living room that I couldn’t seem to keep in any kind of order especially since a hurried, forced move a year ago. I’ve eaten breakfast I reheated because of making breakfast for dinner earlier this week. And that’s the tip of the iceberg lady! You have very literally unlock something in myself that I never thought I’d figure out. I say a prayer every morning and I’ve been thank our Creator for putting your precious contributions to us all in my path.
I could go on, but I’ll leave it with this;
Thank you is not enough.

Like listening to myself 5 years wiser (even tho I think you’re actually younger!)

Every time I have a real challenge in the home I check to see if Kendra has an episode on it (and she almost always does!) that will help me think through the problem and figure out what matters to me. The podcast is the perfect combination of systematic and whimsical. It sometimes helps me talk it over with my partner, it often changes my mind, it usually gets the challenge sorted out for me, it almost always helps me let go of some old hang-up, and it ALWAYS leaves me feeling connected, smiling and confident. It’s the only thing I have EVER bought merch from because Lazy Genius is such a great conversation starter! Thank you, Kendra, for all you do! PS yes office hours is a great idea and I loved the bit about noticing our extreme language - brilliant.

Lazy genius is my soundtrack

This podcast accompanies me as I clean and organize my house, as is work from home, as I commute, and as I cook. I love Kendra’s big sister energy and kind, thoughtful permission giving.
