Does meal planning feel overwhelming? As a busy mom, it can be hard to figure out what’s for dinner—especially when you’re juggling kids, work, and the chaos of postpartum life.

In this episode of the Strong & Nourished Momma Podcast, I’m breaking down my simple 3-step system for meal planning that works for busy moms. You’ll learn how to pick core meals that your family actually loves, plan around your real schedule (instead of a Pinterest-perfect one), and prep just enough to make the week easier—without spending all of Sunday in the kitchen.

Meal planning doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful. With a few simple steps, you can reduce decision fatigue, fuel your body for energy and healing, and enjoy more peaceful evenings with your family.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why meal planning matters for postpartum moms
• How to choose simple, go-to meals that work for your family
• The easiest way to plan around your actual week
• A “prep just enough” strategy to save time and reduce stress
