108 - Why You Hate Meal Planning (And How to Finally Fix It)
The Life Coach for Working Moms PodcastShow Notes
If "what's for dinner?" sends you into a spiral at 5pm, this episode is for you.
Meal planning comes up almost every single week in my sessions with clients — and I don't think that's a coincidence. We are all stretched thin, running on decision fatigue, and desperately wishing someone else would just tell us what to eat. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I approach meal planning (with my clients and in my own home), and I promise it's simpler than you're making it.
I'll walk you through where to start, how to build your family's go-to meal list, and how to create a system that actually holds up when life gets busy. Whether you've never meal planned before, you've tried and it always falls apart, or life has changed and your old system no longer fits, you'll learn something in this episode.

Working moms today spend more time with their kids than stay-at-home moms did a generation ago, while men's time on housework has barely changed. No wonder so many of us are exhausted.
From now until the end of the year we add a whole second list on top of everything else and just expect that we'll somehow fit it all in. It's no wonder working moms feel exhausted by the new year!
What if the fight about the dishwasher was never about the dishwasher? Working motherhood is hard, and when you're carrying more than your fair share of the mental load, it's easy to say "I feel like I'm doing everything and you're doing nothing," an argument you've had many times before.
If you've ever tried time blocking and thought "this doesn't work for me", this episode is for you.
Working motherhood is hard, and most of us believe that if we just got through the list, we'd finally feel calm. But what if your to-do list isn't the reason you feel overwhelmed?
