How to Be a Lazy Genius: Kendra Adachi on Embracing What Matters, Ditching What Doesn’t

We’re wrapping up our self-care series this week, and as we’ve seen, there are dozens of ways to care for yourself, from giving yourself rest and checking in with your mental wellness, to writing down what’s going on in your head and more. We’ve got one question that, well, gets to the heart of this podcast: what truly matters to you? Today, we’re going to learn how to be a genius about the things that matter, and lazy about the things that don’t, thanks to the solid advice of New York Times bestselling author and podcaster Kendra Adachi, AKA The Lazy Genius! Kendra and Nancy talk through Kendra’s journey as a recovering perfectionist, and how taking off the armor of being perfect might feel scary, but the rewards of letting others into your life are absolutely worth it. Kendra also shares how to reframe your priorities, and why that practice helps you clear the mental clutter that’s weighing you down. Equal parts hilarious and insightful, Kendra reminds us to respect ourselves enough to embrace what truly matters to us—and to respect others for what matters to them. And when we give ourselves permission to embrace only what matters and let go of what doesn’t, we are open the door for more joy and confidence in our days.
