Hi there. You're listening to the Lazy Genius podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi. This podcast isn't about

hacking the system to find more time or hacking your energy to get more done. Hustling to be the best

or to make the most out of every opportunity is exhausting and unsustainable. So here we do things

differently. On this podcast, we value contentment,

compassion, and living in your season. We favor small steps over big systems. Here we are lazy

to you and see how some things you already do are contributing to a spirit of hospitality that you didn't even notice.

After that, we'll have a little extra something in the form of my favorite hosting recipes.

I have some go-toes or some Decide Once meals that I usually make, so I'll share those.

They will also be listed and linked when there is a link in the next podcast recap email.

So if you get that, don't worry about taking notes. It'll be in the latest lazy listens email.

As always, we'll celebrate the lazy genius of the week and we'll close things out with a mini

pep talk for when you're lonely. Now before we get into the episode, I wanted to let you know that the plan,
