Rest, Simplicity, & Soup: Nourishing Your Family with Ease & Intention | Kathi Lipp (EP358)

What if instead of waiting for a long sabbatical, you could experience the healing benefits of rest every single week? In today’s episode, I'm joined by Kathi Lipp, author of *Sabbath Soup*, to explore the idea of a weekly sabbath—one day set aside for rest, renewal, and connecting with what truly matters. We discuss how simplifying meal planning can reduce decision fatigue, foster family connection, and even get kids excited about trying new foods. Join us as we uncover how a weekly day of rest can transform your busy life into a more peaceful one.Episode Chapters |04:50 | Sabbath Soup: A Practical Approach to Meal Planning07:54 | Food as Nourishment: Beyond the Plate10:23 | Decision Fatigue in Meal Preparation13:03 | Pre-Deciding Meals: A Strategy for Simplicity16:26 | Navigating Picky Eaters20:39 | Decluttering for a Functional KitchenAbout Kathi |Kathi Lipp is the bestselling author of The Accidental Homesteader, Clutter Free, and The Husband Project.
