91. Phone It In, Win the Week: Your Emergency Plan for When Life Goes Sideways

Hey friend—ever have a Monday (or let’s be real… entire week) go totally off the rails?

In this episode, Dr. Stacy Heimburger gets real about what to do when life explodes and you have zero time or energy to plan your meals. Whether you’re stuck in airport delays, forgot to prep, or just can’t even—this episode gives you the ultimate “Phone It In Plan” to help you stay on track without overthinking.

We’re talking:

✅ Grab-and-go breakfasts with protein + fat (ahem, fat bombs in your coffee)
✅ Pantry staples that save your lunch
✅ Grocery shortcuts for dinner (hello, rotisserie chicken!)
✅ Fast food orders that actually work for your goals
✅ How to “drive without distractions” and order groceries with a calm brain
✅ Real-life examples and mindset tips for handling chaotic weeks

Plus, Dr. Stacy gives a fun update on her No Buy 25 progress and the “Tuition of Life” lessons she learned from broken shoes and surprise expenses.

👉 This is your permission slip to simplify, regroup, and STILL take care of yourself when everything feels like a mess. You’re not failing—you’re adapting.
