The Lazy Genius Podcast

This week marks the one year anniversary of the release of my second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, and today I want to celebrate that by sharing my favorite chapter with you. It’s the beginning of the whole kit and caboodle which is why I love it. It sets the stage for what matters about your kitchen and why not naming that causes problems. Helpful Companion Links The Lazy Genius Kitchen // Buy on: Amazon // IndieBound The Lazy Genius Kitchen Video Series on YouTube Sarah Horgan’s Instagram Download a transcript of this episode.   This podcast is hosted by Kendra Adachi and executive produced by Kendra Adachi, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.

Today is a very special bonus episode where I get to talk to one of my favorite bands in the whole world, Joseph. They have a new album releasing tomorrow, April 28, called The Sun. It is an album full of honesty, compassion, joy, and it also just sounds rad. Today, I talk with the sisters about what it’s like being sisters who also make music together, what you can do to help develop healthy relationships among your kids, especially twins, and how they process singing their personal stories so vulnerably from stage.

This special episode is presented by KFC. KFC chicken nuggets have made their debut and they truly are the perfect chicken nugget. Each one is hand-breaded with KFC’s Original Recipe and absolutely packed with flavor. So basically what I’m saying is...KFC took all the magic that is a bucket of chicken and packed it into one small but equally amazing chicken nugget.And since KFC chicken nuggets are something that saves dinner for my family, I thought I’d share more examples of that in today’s episode. Helpful Companion Links KFC Chicken Nuggets Merlin App Olive & June press-on nails (Use code KendraA20 for 20% off!)

One of the most beautiful things about being a Lazy Genius is that you can Lazy Genius literally anything. Some of those solutions are linear, but frustratingly, a lot of them are not. There isn’t always a straight line from a problem to a solution. Or is there? Today’s episode is as close as we’re going to get, and we’re going to get really really close. Helpful Companion Links The Instagram video of pivoting from my car Sign up for the Latest Lazy Listens email.
