Podcasts about meal planning

We're back! In this episode, we recap our summer meal planning, what shifted for each of us, and how we're resetting our approach heading into Fall. We make a case for doing a pantry clean-out now, why Fall is actually a smart time to stock up on holiday baking staples, and how to use what you already have to stretch your grocery budget a little further this season.We also geek out a little over our favorite planning tools, from paper planners to sticky notes, before wrapping up with a rundown of everything new in the Plan to Eat V4 app, including new customization features, recipe photos on the planner, and some shopping list updates we think you're going to love.

“Structure” might not be the most exciting word in parenting.In fact, if you're anything like me, it might sound a little too much like schedules, color-coded charts, and someone who actually knows where all the matching socks are.I am not that person.But here's what I've learned: structure isn't about controlling our kids. It's one of the ways we care for them.I was recently talking with an 11-year-old who, I realized, didn't really have a bedtime. No adult was telling him when it was time to sleep, and he was regularly falling asleep in class. That hit me hard.Kids need choices, absolutely. But they need choices inside a fence. They need adults who create boundaries that say, “You're safe here. I've got you.”And mealtime is one of the best places to practice this.In this episode, I'm sharing six practical habits that can make meals healthier, calmer, and far less exhausting for parents. We'll talk about:Why structure can actually reduce stress for kids instead of creating more of itThe ridiculously simple “veggies first” system that does not require you to chop carrots at 5:47 p.m. while everyone is melting downThree questions we use at our table to get kids talking about when they laughed, learned, and lovedWhy parents need a good poker face at the dinner table, especially with picky eatersHow to give kids plenty of food choices while still keeping the very important boundary that you decide what gets servedThe after-dinner rule in our house that has helped my kids become people who automatically notice when there's work to be doneOne tiny lunch-packing habit that can save you from pulling seven containers and three utensils out of the refrigerator the next morningYou do not need to implement all six ideas tomorrow. Please don't.Listen for the one that makes you think, “Ohhh. We need that.”That's probably your action step.Resources We Mention for Mealtime Habits for FamiliesThe Kimball Family Chores System helps develop good habits to make getting a clean house simpler!You can learn how all these habits work to solve picky eating from the No More Picky Eating Challenge and also in my upcoming book, The Picky Eater Playbook!My interview with Deborah MacNamara about food and family connectonWhy kids have anxietyFamily dinner rituals for physical and mental healthWhy “veggies first”?A good divided vegetable tray to tryMy interview with Shannon Miller where she talks about the three L'sYes, we have nights when our kids cook dinner!

Is dinner sneaking up on you again... tonight? And tomorrow? And basically every night this week? If you've ever stood in the grocery store at 5pm with no plan, no idea what to make, and your blood sugar making all your decisions for you, this episode is for you. I'm sharing why so many of us moms are stuck in reactive mode when it comes to dinner, and why that's honestly not our fault (spoiler: nobody taught us this). I'm also getting personal about my own before and after with meal planning: what dinner looked like when I had zero system, and what changed once I built one that actually fit my real life (not some Pinterest version of it). If you're ready to move from stress-free meal planning for moms being a fantasy to it actually being your reality, you'll want to hear the simple shift I walk through today. It's not about spending hours every Sunday. It's not about a perfect system. It's one small decision, made at the right time, that changes everything downstream. Plus, I'm sharing two resources that pair perfectly with this episode: a free tool to help you build protein into every meal without overthinking it, and a quick training if you want help building your own rotation from scratch. Let's dive in. -Rachel Next Steps: 100 Gram Protein Cheat-Sheet Meal Planning on Autopilot Starter Kit Book a Free Discovery Call for weekly personal check ins and to learn about my Fat Loss Formula for Moms Coaching Program

Healthy meal planning, easy dinners, and healthy eating habits don't need to feel overwhelming even when you're busy, tired, and low on motivation. Do you ever get to the end of the day and think… what am I going to make for dinner tonight? If you're trying to lose weight, build healthier eating habits, or simply stay consistent with healthy eating as a busy woman, dinner time is often where everything falls apart. That decision fatigue leads to takeaway, last-minute choices, and feeling like you're starting over again tomorrow. In this episode of The Healthy Her, I'm sharing my simple weekly meal planning system that removes the stress from everyday dinners and helps you stay consistent without relying on motivation or willpower. This is the exact system I use as a busy working mum to make healthy eating easier and more automatic.

Having cuisine nights or meal-focused nights simplifies planning. Creating a routine for grocery shopping and dinner prep reduces mental load.

Meal planning can feel like a second job, especially when you have kids with different tastes. Meal planning doesn't have to be another demanding task on an already busy schedule. For working mothers, the most effective approach is to keep meals simple, plan around real-life commitments, and create routines that reduce daily decision-making. The goal isn't to prepare perfect meals every day, it's to make feeding the family more manageable, flexible, and less stressful. Takeaway pointsKeep meal planning simple.Build your weekly menu around a small selection of easy, family-approved meals instead of searching for new recipes every day.Plan around your schedule.Match quick meals with busy evenings and save more time-consuming dishes for days when you have more energy and time.Prepare for busy days.Keep leftovers, freezer foods, and a few reliable emergency meals available so an unpredictable day doesn't derail your dinner plans.Aim for consistency, not perfection.Use shortcuts, involve the family, and allow flexibility. A successful meal plan is one that reduces stress and works realistically for your household.Book Recommendation Cook Once, Eat All Week – Cassy Joy GarciaJoin the Bookclubhttps://www.drdunni.clubCONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA  Ig- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drdunni.lifecoach/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9C1oJwHyISEuqiX8USaYKg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CH- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.clubhouse.com/@drdunni-druwa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FB- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/druwaacademy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/drdunni⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HOST BIO⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your host, Dr Dunni, is the award-winning mum empowerment coach, Family doctor, International speaker, Best-selling author of the book ‘Every Mum is a Super Mum' and a mum herself who is passionate about health and wellbeing.

Do you stare into your refrigerator every night at 6:00 PM, wondering what to feed your family? What sounds simple can quickly feel heavy when you are trying to make good choices, manage a busy schedule, and feed a family with different needs. In this episode, we explore the hidden stress of dinner planning, especially for parents managing picky eaters and the constant pressure to create balanced meals with the right protein-carb combinations and healthy fats.  We also share ways to make things easier. From building a list of core meals to using a cycle menu, doing a pantry audit, and thinking about the division of feeding responsibility, the focus is on lowering kitchen stress with practical systems that actually fit real life. In this conversation, we cover: How to repurpose one cooked component into multiple different meals throughout the week. Why decision fatigue makes meal planning harder than it needs to be Ways these systems can simplify simple family dinners How a recipe club can help reduce the mental load of daily food choices Sometimes the hardest part is not cooking the meal. It is carrying the weight of deciding, again and again, what feeding your family is supposed to look like. Let's rebrand wellness together! Elizabeth, Tara & Maria   Connect with us!

Strategies for growing on Instagram and Substack, the importance of staying consistent, and leaning into data with Jenn Lueke from Jenn Eats Goood. ----- Welcome to episode 570 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Jenn Lueke. How Jenn Lueke Grew to 1.7 Million Followers with Budget Meal Planning Content Jenn Lueke started Jenn Eats Goood in 2018 as a college student — no strategy, no monetization plan, just a hobby Instagram account she loved running. For five years, growth was slow, but she remained consistent. Then in 2023, something clicked. She leaned into meal planning and budget grocery content, and everything changed. Within a year, she went from stalling in the thousands to crossing one million followers. In this episode, Jenn and Bjork chat about all of it — what finally worked, how she prioritizes data in her content strategy, which platforms she's focusing on right now, and why she now considers her Substack newsletter her number one priority. Three episode takeaways: The importance of leaning into what is working — It took five years of trial and error, learning, experimenting, and testing before Jenn's following on social media started to grow. Her meal planning content really resonated with her audience, so she capitalized on the momentum of the series to grow her community (rather than reinventing the wheel)! How Jenn built her team — Growth brings new challenges, and Jenn is candid about how hard it was to build a team in the beginning and what the division of labor looks like now that she's figured it out. Why Jenn made Substack her number one priority — After just a couple of years, Substack is now the biggest revenue driver in Jenn's business. She and Bjork talk about how she balances free and paid content, what drives growth on Substack, and why it is the most important part of her business right now.

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.   ==========================  

In this episode, I'm talking about meal planning and why, despite being a bit boring and unsexy, it's one of the most powerful things you can do for your nutrition and weight loss goals.I walk through a couple of different ways to approach it, from having specific meals planned for each day to creating a flexible pool of meals to choose from throughout the week. I also share some practical tips that have helped me personally, like habit stacking meal planning onto something you already do, going digital so you can reuse old meal plans, and focusing on planning the meals you struggle with most instead of trying to perfectly map out every bite.The big message is that you don't need a perfect plan, but you do need some kind of plan. Because “winging it” is usually what gets people into trouble.Time Stamps:00:00  Why meal planning matters for weight loss and nutrition02:00  The two best ways to meal plan03:20  Habit stacking and making meal planning easier07:50  Why you need to plan for weekends tooClick me for show notes!PS.

Preparedness has a reputation problem. For many people, it feels intense, overwhelming, or even fear-based. But what if preparedness was never meant to feel that way? In this episode of the Joyfully Prepared Podcast, Wendi Bergin shares a personal story that reshaped her entire approach to preparedness. After being called out for sounding “doomsday” during a simple playdate conversation, she realized something important: fear doesn't help families feel prepared… it creates more stress. That moment became the foundation of her mission today. Wendi now teaches a different approach to preparedness—one rooted in peace, confidence, and simple, practical action. _____________________________________________________ What You'll Learn in This Episode Why fear-based preparedness keeps people stuck and overwhelmed How to shift your mindset from panic to peace What “joyful preparedness” actually looks like in everyday life Why small, consistent steps matter more than big, dramatic changes How to involve your family and children in preparedness in a calm, empowering way The 5 Pillars of Preparedness Wendi breaks preparedness down into five simple, approachable areas: 1.Food Storage and Food Security Create a reliable backup plan for meals, tight budgets, and busy days. Learn how building a pantry with foods your family actually eats can bring immediate peace of mind. 2.  Emergency Preparedness Prepare for short-term disruptions like power outages and storms with simple, practical tools like water, light, and backup cooking options. Butane Stove - https://a.co/d/07OrReeV 3. Skill Development  Build confidence through skills like cooking from scratch, food preservation, gardening, and herbal remedies. Skills are long-term preparedness that never run out. 4. Preparedness Gear Use tools intentionally. Focus on quality over quantity and learn how to use what you own so it actually supports your life. 5. Financial Preparedness Create margin and awareness in your finances so you can navigate unexpected expenses and rising costs with more confidence and less stress. A Simple Challenge to Get Started Don't try to do everything. Pick one pillar and take one small step this week: Buy one extra item you already use Find and check your emergency supplies Practice a simple skill Take a quick look at your finances Preparedness is built slowly… one decision at a time. Preparedness Isn't About Becoming Extreme It's about creating a home that feels: calm supported capable steady Even when life isn't. Resources and Next Steps If you're ready to build preparedness in a simple, step-by-step way without overwhelm:

Send us Fan MailYour meals can make or break a camping trip and most problems start before you even leave the driveway. We walk through the no-drama way we plan and prep food so we can spend more time hiking, paddling, swimming, and hanging out with the kids, and less time digging through a soggy cooler. Tim shares his old-school grid method for mapping breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks by day, plus how that single sheet of paper prevents overpacking, forgotten ingredients, and last-minute “what's for dinner” stress.We get practical about the difference between car camping and backcountry camping meals, including how long fresh food can realistically last and how to stretch it with smarter ingredients like smoked meats, smoked cheese, tortillas, and hardy produce. We also dig into cooler strategy: layering food by day, choosing a quality cooler, using a dedicated drinks cooler, and why block ice outlasts cubes. If you want a lightweight hack for backcountry trips, we explain how freezing water bags can keep food cold early on and then get dumped as they melt to reduce pack weight.From foil-packet dinners and make-ahead chili to pancake mix shortcuts, trail snacks, and classic campfire desserts, we keep the focus on simple camping recipes that match your cooking gear and your weather.

Ever feel like you know what to eat… but when life gets busy, you still can't seem to stay consistent? In this episode, we're talking about one of the most overlooked pieces of midlife fat loss: simple, doable meal planning that actually fits your life. The truth is that even if you want to lose weight in this season, it's not the time to focus on perfection.

Watch the entire YouTube video here. I've watched thousands of creators sell digital products. The ones selling ebooks and how-to guides? It used to work. They could make thousands. But now they're struggling. There's a small group doing something completely different — and they're making $2,000 to $7,000 a month. Nobody's talking about what they changed. Today I am. Show Notes: MiloTree Sign Up for MiloTree FREE: Transformational Product AI Prompts FREE: Product Goldmine AI Prompt FREE: Digital Product Ladder AI Prompt Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Shift 1: Stop Selling Information — Start Selling a Transformation An information product that used to work: "The Complete Guide to Meal Planning." 40 pages, $17. The transformation product: "The 7-Day Meal Prep Jumpstart: Overwhelmed to a Full Freezer in One Weekend." $27. Same topic. Totally different product. The guide says "here's what to know." The jumpstart says "here's where you'll be in 7 days." When someone buys a guide, they're buying a book. When someone buys a jumpstart, they're buying a version of themselves — the version who has it together, who has a full freezer, who isn't scrambling at 6 p.m. You're not selling a product. You're selling your customer their future self. And AI can't give that away for free. More examples: Before: How to Grow Your Instagram → Now: 1,000 Followers in 30 Days Before: How to Start a Budget → Now: The Debt-Free in 90 Days Playbook See the pattern? A specific result, a specific timeframe, a clear starting point. The Transformation Product AI Prompt "I have experience in [add your niche]. My audience struggles with [add the problem]. Give me five digital product ideas that promise a specific transformation, not just information. Each one should include: 1) A product name that states the result and timeframe, 2) Where the customer starts (their pain point), 3) Where they end up (the specific outcome), 4) Why someone would pay $27 to $47 for this instead of just Googling it or using AI. Make them specific, achievable, and something I could create in one afternoon." Shift 2: Don't Write an Ebook — Build a System The ebook: "How to Plan Your Content Calendar." 50 pages. The customer has to read it, figure it out, apply it. Most never finish. The system: "The 30-Day Content Calendar Framework." Fill in five blanks, follow the decision tree, done-for-them calendar in 20 minutes. One makes the customer do the work. The other does it for them. And systems are actually easier to create. You don't need 50 pages — you need a framework. A system can be: A fillable PDF workbook A template they can customize A checklist or decision tree A spreadsheet A swipe file with fill-in-the-blank frameworks The System Builder AI Prompt "I'm creating a digital product called [add your product name]. Instead of writing an ebook, help me design it as a fill-in-the-blank system. Include: 1) What the customer fills in about their specific situation (3-5 inputs), 2) What the system gives them back (the personalized output), 3) The step-by-step framework — what does each page or section do?, 4) How the customer gets to the promised result without reading more than two pages. Keep it simple enough that I can build it in a Google Doc or Canva template in one afternoon." Shift 3: AI Can't Be You This is the one nobody talks about. AI can write an ebook. AI can build a template. AI can create a framework. But AI cannot be you. AI can't look at someone's business and say "skip that, do this." AI can't bring your years of experience to their problem. AI can't make someone feel seen. That's what people pay the most for — not your product, you. Put yourself in everything you sell. And if AI scares you, here's the flip: once you make this shift, AI becomes your accelerator. It builds your templates faster, your frameworks in an afternoon, your sales pages in minutes. AI does the heavy lifting. You focus on being you.

What if the thing you thought would make you more controlled…was actually the thing that finally helped you feel free around food?In this episode, I'm walking you through one of the most misunderstood tools in your healing journey:Planning your meals.But not in the way you've been taught.This is not about tracking macros.Not about restriction.Not about discipline.This is about creating safety in your body.1. Planning Isn't About Control — It's About SafetyWhen most people hear “plan your meals,” they think:calorie countingrigid structurerestrictionBut what I teach is different.Planning removes food noise.It tells your body: you're safe… food is available… nothing is being taken away.And when your body feels safe?Cravings begin to quiet.2. Cravings Are a Nervous System SignalCravings are not random.They're not a lack of willpower.They are a signal that your nervous system is in protection mode.And in that state, your body will:increase cravingspush you toward high-reward foodsstore fat instead of releasing itBecause your body is trying to survive.3. The Cycle That Keeps You StuckThis is the loop I see over and over again:Restrict → Binge → Punish → Promise → RepeatYou restrict.You feel in control.Something triggers you.You binge.You feel shame.You punish yourself.You promise to do better.And the cycle continues.Not because you don't have self-control…but because your nervous system is doing its job.4. Restriction Creates Stronger CravingsThe more you tell yourself you can't have something…the more your brain fixates on it.That's why:one craving turns into a bingeone treat turns into “starting over Monday”Because deprivation increases desire.5. The Dopamine LoopWhen you use food to go from:discomfort → reliefstress → rewardyou create a dopamine pattern.And over time, you need more and more to feel the same effect.This is how emotional eating becomes a habit.6. Permission Changes EverythingYou are allowed to eat the food.Not as a reward.Not as a cheat.Not as a “last chance.”But as something neutral.Because when nothing is forbidden…nothing has power over you.7. Planning as a Tool for PeaceWhen you plan your meals:you reduce mental chatteryou remove decision fatigueyou create predictabilityyou build trust with yourselfAnd that's what actually leads to change.8. Intuition Comes After SafetyYou don't “just eat intuitively” overnight.Intuition is built when:restriction is gonefood is neutralyour body feels safeThen your body starts guiding you naturally.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?
