    Practical yet tailored for you
    Always enjoy listening to the Lazy Genius podcast. While practical, I Love the reoccurring reminder to be a genius about things that matter to You (not others) and lazy about things that don’t matter to you. We’re all different and that’s wonderful so we don’t have to do things that same as everyone.

    Earliest episodes are the best
    I give 5 starts to episodes from the beginning up until around early 2024. Those episodes gave lots of practical tips that made life much easier! After 2024-ish, the episodes began to veer into more therapy-speak, sort of like mindset work. If that’s something you love, you’ll like the newer episodes also. I’m a professional therapist and I don’t auto download the new episodes any longer, simply because I prefer practical steps/ideas as opposed to ideal-oriented discussions.

    Your weekly pep talk podcast
    Kendra is like your big sister/ bestie who’s always there with the best advice. She’s funny and smart and gives you permission not to be a perfectionist.

    An angel on my shoulder
    I started with the Lazy Genius podcast and have since read two of Kendra’s books and her newsletter. I have learned little tidbits in each podcast episode that are adding up to create mindset shifts. I like having Kendra’s perspective in my head to balance - be a reality check - when something else I read or hear makes me think I’m lacking and in need of major self improvement. Her kind approach feels comfortable and reasonable. Her voice on the podcast is so friendly and I always feel relaxed and empowered after listening to her message.

    Such a good listen
    Love these episodes. Perfect length. Not a self help product but so practical about creating the right way to think through all of life’s things

    Calming approach to life
    In a working where ppl are overwhelming us with big to do lists and things we should do and not do etc, Kendra’s podcast is like a breath of fresh air. It’s like talking to an old friend and talking about seasons of life. She has practical ideas for all situations but without it being a burden. My 4 yo also loves to listen to the podcast and she lovingly calls her Kendra Aunty. Keep up the good work!

    Life changing!
    Kendra takes a gentle and achievable approach to making small changes to make your life how you want it. It’s changed my daily routine to help it work for me and keeps me laughing with her down to earth style.

    bringing me life as a mom of 2 littles
    I’ve enjoyed Kendra’s books and practical life advice for a while now, but the content she’s been pushing out lately has been meeting me in a deep way- she’s just so good!!! every episode lately feels like she’s speaking to me in this very chaotic and hard season as a mom of a 2 year old and 7 mo old, small biz owner, and person with adhd. I send these episodes to my friends regularly, and when I meet someone new who listens, I know we are gonna be GOOD friends. This podcast is saving my motherhood journey, helping me get my dishes done (and helping me ok with not getting them done), and making me think differently about all of the problems im constantly trying to solve. Your words are giving me life Kendra and I wish I could hug you (really, be hugged by you) in real life!!!
  • GrrlMindset
    Worth while
    I love the tips, exercises, and principles! Especially “decide once”. I also enjoy how she shared her personal experience and brought her sister in on a few episodes. I recently went back and caught up on the first season and it’s another crazy election year so it fit right in! Btw, episode 409 could need called “How to Deal with Kids When You Don’t Have Kids” for those of us without kids.

  • Christinemke24
    Game changer for recovering perfectionist
    I have been a regular listener to this podcast since 2021. Kendra offers compassionate advice and a healthy perspective on life that has helped transform my self-talk and tame the expectations I have of myself. I cannot sing her praises enough!

  • ListenerLiz
    Advice that actually works!
    This is a favorite podcast of mine! It has a loving, low-pressure vibe like hanging out with a girlfriend. It helps me refocus on what’s important to me and feel more inspired to take small, manageable steps. I love texting with friends who also listen, and I regularly share the concepts with work colleagues and friends and family. Highly recommend!

  • Thebeautifultruth
    Refreshing. Life Giving. FREEING
    Kendra brings such kind truth in this show. And every new episode is fun and light hearted BUT always so grounding. She’s constantly reminding us that life doesn’t have to be so complicated! We won’t ever be perfect and we don’t even need to try to be. I just can’t say it enough…add this to your weekly rhythm of podcasts!

    Saved my sanity
    I listen to this podcast regularly but episode #408 Three Surprising Steps to a Clean House may have saved my sanity this week. My home includes a teenager whose cleanliness threshold varies wildly from my own. I have tried every tactic I can imagine to encourage a cleaner room and often find myself becoming a version of a parent that I don’t like in my constant nagging. But if I consider that this is a season and adjust my expectations, I can at least hold on to a bit of sanity while my teenager discovers what her version of cleanliness will be. Thank you, Kendra!
  • KayliH84
    Practical + Fun
    I listen religiously. Kendra is fun, makes overwhelming things not feel so daunting, and encourages me to take realistic steps that are sustainable. Love this podcast, her books, and just Kendra in general.
  • LMBenson
    So practical and encouraging!
    Kendra is an encourager and her lazy genius principles are SIMPLE and EASY to implement in your daily life. Small changes make a HUGE impact! I’m so thankful for her books and podcast!
  • awilliford90
    The big sister this big sister truly appreciates
    Kendra meets us with joy, relatability, humor and kindness every week. She is full of practical advice and never fails to pass tips forward, like a good big sister does. Her encouragement is a breath of fresh air and she simultaneously reminds us that the goal is not being great - but instead being grounded and integrated. How refreshing is that. This recovering perfectionist truly looks forward to each weekly episode. Much love to you, Kendra, and thanks for all you do.

    Amazing
    Devoted listener. I don’t mean to be hyperbolic when I say that I can’t imagine my life before this podcast. I actually can’t. This woman is one of God’s many gifts to me ❤️ Thousands of 5 star reviews for good reason. I love that she includes women without kids into the fold. I don’t have children but don’t feel I’m ’locked out of the mom’s club’ with this podcast.
  • HCJojo
    The Best Podcast!
    I love this podcast! Even as a teenage girl I have found encouragement and great ideas to help you make decisions and routines in your life that work for YOU. I love how Kendra explains how we can build lives that matter to us, without feeling like we have to fit in to our culture perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend this podcast for all people, in all stages of life!

    Bright Spot
    I love Mondays because it means a new episode of The Lazy Genius Podcast. It’s such a bright spot in my day, week, life, etc! Kendra has brought so much peace and clarity to my journey as a mother, wife and individual. So thankful for all the wonderful content that she puts out!
  • GJW22
    Therapy in my car
    Kendra is so gifted at giving permission, helping us understand expectations, and teaching us to give ourselves grace. I’ve been listening for a few years and this podcast, in combination with actual therapy, has been so freeing to me. (Enneagram one here!) It has helped me overcome my perfectionism and hold things a little less tightly.
  • Britmherrin
    Big Sis/Fun Aunt Energy
    I don’t have a big sister, but if I did, I imagine she’d talk to me like Kendra talks to her listeners. So much loving encouragement with humor and the occasional kick in the booty I need. Thanks Kendra and The LGP crew!
  • M. Migl
    Always Right On Time
    One of my top favorite podcasts to listen to! It always makes me feel like a regular parent with tangible advice!
  • Frantic Student
    No Judgment Here!
    Kendra is the kind big sister that everyone needs. She offers compassion and practical tips without any guilt. Her books have empowered me to prioritize the things that matter and let go of the rest, and I love hearing the tips from the Lazy Genius of the Week at the end of each episode.
  • TTells
    Keeping it real, honest and fun
    Kendra has a unique way of connecting and I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve laughed out loud. From talking about “big black trash bag energy” to using funny voices, her message is relatable, entertaining, and incredibly life-giving all at the same time. Many episodes are like mini therapy sessions and her honesty about her own journey is a breath of fresh air.
  • abcdvz
    Genuinely changed my life
    I’ve been listening to this show for about 2-3 years now. The way Kendra is realistic about house systems and expectations has plucked me out of the hype of systems that don’t work and stopped using shame as a motivator — thank you LG crew for helping change the way i think, my house and mind are much cleaner now.
  • PastorMeg86
    Get Kendra in your Head! She will cheer you on!
    FT working mom trying to do the dance — Kendra has helped me so much and even helped me connect better with friends. Give her a listen and release what doesn’t matter.
  • Katelyn Cornfield
    My favorite
    I’ve been listening to Kendra for years, right around the time her second book came out. I’ve read all 3 books, listened to all podcast episodes, and even gone to see her speak at an event in Chicago. This podcast is a reliable source of kindness, practicality, and help in everyday life. She really and truly taught me how to identity what matters to me and what doesn’t, and that has brought me so much happiness ♥️
  • Review1lagerborg
    Great!
    This pod has become a fave…life giving and wise!
  • 🍦💝🍬💞
    The kindest and most effective planning and organizational podcast that ever existed!
    Kendra will kindly and graciously help you come up with a personal plan for your time, your menu, your stuff, and your priorities. You will leave with very practical steps that don’t bring shame, only encouragement.
