0:00.0	Hello and welcome to best laid plans. This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning and planning adjacent.
0:17.8	One topic that comes up every so often is meal planning because it's something we all have to do.
0:23.9	It's a challenge that we all face and we may reinvent the way we do it every once in a while.
0:29.2	But at the same time, it just really never goes away. And you all know, I often use something called prep dish, which is, well, you'll hear a lot about it in the coming episode, so I won't belabor it now.
0:42.9	But it's one strategy of how to get dinner on the table.
0:45.8	And I thought it would be really fun to interview Alison Schafe, who is the CEO of Prepdish.
0:50.9	She created it, not just because I wanted her to talk about meal planning,
0:54.6	but because she clearly has a lot together. She has a successful business. She has now four
1:01.2	children. I thought it was three, but there is a new baby in the mix, which is super cool.
1:05.7	And she really exudes confidence and calm on her own podcast that I really, really enjoy. She seems like a
1:14.3	woman who is living a life of intention and really has thought through the way she does things.
1:19.0	So she's bringing that on our show today. I think you'll enjoy hearing some of her methods and
1:23.7	where she is today. We're going to talk about planning stuff first and then go into the specific meal planning
1:29.8	aspect of things where you'll learn what her kind of business offers and also how she meal
1:34.5	plans.
1:35.3	And I think you'll get lots of really fun ideas from this episode.
1:38.8	If you come up with your own guest suggestions, please let me know.
1:42.8	You can always email them to me. My name, sarah, hart, h-a-r-t-r-h-R-G-M-E-M-G-L-R-G-M is an easy way to get me,
1:50.7	or you can always leave a comment on one of the show notes posts, which are all at the
1:55.0	shoebox.com. T-H-E-S-H-U-O-X.com. All right, we're going to start the interview now.
2:00.9	I really hope you enjoy it and find yourself inspired to refine your meal planning tactics this season,
2:07.5	or maybe you'll get something else exciting from Allison.
