For whatever cocktail of reasons, life just feels like a lot right now. An extra amount of a lot. Constant chaos feels like the norm instead of the exception.
Finding calm in the chaos is not just a cute alliterative podcast title. It’s required. It’s survival for me right now. It’s necessary spiritually and mentally healthy work for me to actively seek, create, and receive calm in the chaos of life right now, and I want to share ten ways you might try doing that, too.

This is a universal problem. All of us have stuff we have to do and we just don’t feel like doing it. So either we don’t do it and get behind or we do it but with much reluctance. Neither option is fun. So today, I’m sharing ten things that help me get my stuff when I don’t feel like it.

#402 Office Hours
Y’all are super familiar with this episode by now, but I’m going to take some of your questions from Instagram and Lazy Genius them. I will say that any time we do these episodes, the answers in the post are so good. Some I don’t even answer because y’all do such a great job of answering each other’s, all with a compassionate Lazy Genius lens. So after you listen to this, don’t hesitate to scroll through past Office Hours Instagram posts @thelazygenius because they are quite excellent.

#401 How to Live in Your Season (Without Resenting It)
Live in your season is one of the thirteen Lazy Genius principles I write about in my first book, The Lazy Genius Way, and fun fact: it was the hardest chapter to write. Even though I talk about contentment in that chapter, a theme we now cover quite often, I was still hanging on to the greatness train by my fingertips.
In this episode, I’m going to share a few highlights about what it means to live in your season since we can always use a reminder, and I’m going to share how that personally looks in my own life years after releasing that first book.

#400 - How to Feel Satisfied with Your Celebrations
Celebrations are strangely complicated. Sometimes we shy away from them, especially if we’re celebrating something about ourselves. Other times we have them but feel pressure to celebrate a certain way, to make everything as sparkly and memorable as possible. I’m not promising that you’ll never feel disappointed with your celebrations again, but I do think there’s a lot of room to feel greater satisfaction when we mark our moments.
Side note: This our 400th episode!! Kind of fun to talk about celebrating on the 400th episode. 🎉
