Meal planning for busy moms shouldn’t feel overwhelming — but for so many families, dinner becomes the most stressful part of the day.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my simple meal planning system for busy moms that I've used for the last decade. One that eliminates daily decision fatigue, reduces grocery store runs, and makes dinner feel manageable again — even during busy seasons with young kids.

You’ll learn how to create a weekly meal planning rhythm that actually works in real life, without color-coded calendars, complicated prep routines, or cooking from scratch every single night. This system worked when I was working full-time in a demanding corporate role, and it still works now as a stay-at-home mom with multiple little ones at home.

We’ll talk through practical meal planning tips for moms, including how to build a running meal list, plan leftovers on purpose, simplify decisions with themed dinner nights, and stock your kitchen with reliable staples so you’re never stuck at 4:30pm wondering what’s for dinner.

This episode isn’t about eating perfectly or following rigid food rules. It’s about creating a low-stress home system that supports your rhythms, routines, and energy — so you can spend less time stressing about meals and more time present with your family.

If you’re a mom who feels overwhelmed by meal planning and just wants an easy, repeatable dinner system, this episode will help you simplify, reset, and move forward with confidence!
