The Lazy Genius Podcast

Welcome to The We Do Not Care Club Podcast hosted by Melani Sanders, content creator, founding member of the WDNC, and New York Times bestselling author of The Official We Do Not Care Club Handbook. What started as Melani’s hilarious and all-too-true social media declaration that she simply did not care much anymore has become a global movement centered on sisterhood, laughter, honesty, and understanding that we are not alone, and we are enough. From menopause to marriage, motherhood, sex, relationships, changing bodies, mental health, work, money, food, and the everyday chaos of midlife, no topic is off-limits.

I love this episode. We’ve done a version of this around this time of year for the past few years, but here in 2026, we got a bit of a head start with last week’s episode, How to Live in This Season.
If you’re a sticky note and list sort of person, you’ll really like today’s episode since we’re getting into the nitty-gritty of planning. But even if you’re not, today’s episode is all about helping you see, organize, and enjoy all the things on your plate. In short, we’re going to make the rest of the year easier.

We are on the tailend of October. This weekend is Halloween, and then it’s time to enter November, a month often full of busyness, coziness, and lots of anticipatory stress as you get ready for the holiday season.
This episode is a workshop on how to live in your season on a practical, applicable level. My goal for you at the end of this episode is that you will have identified what matters about the next few weeks.

Fall is our busiest time of the year, which is true for a lot of people and families, and sometimes it’s helpful to hear another person’s experience. Maybe something that’s working for me could be a solution for you, or you could start to notice that problems in your own life and schedule aren’t as massive as they seem and you can let them go. So this list is not prescriptive but I hope it gets your wheels turning on how to make your own fall a little easier.

Laundry is universal. Everyone wears clothes, generally every day. Those clothes get dirty and must be washed, sometimes every day. It’s just a constant part of life that will not stop. So since we can’t stop doing laundry, let’s figure out how to take the stress out of it. Let’s make it as simple and pleasant and compassionate and functional as possible so that we’ll still be able to do it without losing our minds.
