Meal Planning for Busy Moms | Simplify Mealtime, Reduce Stress, and Create More Balance and Joy in Your Life
This podcast started with one mission: help busy moms get quick, healthy, and delicious meals on the table in under 30 minutes. And with over 10,000 downloads, it’s clear that meal planning has been a game-changer for so many of you.
But here’s what I’ve heard loud and clear—meal planning alone isn’t enough. The real challenge isn’t just figuring out what’s for dinner—it’s managing the mental load, reducing stress, and creating a life that feels simpler, calmer, and more joyful.
That’s why Meal Planning for Busy Moms is evolving.
I’m Blaga—mom of four, meal planning strategist, and your go-to mentor for simplifying meals and everyday routines so you can feel more in control and less overwhelmed. For years, I thought if I could just master meal planning, everything else would fall into place. But I realized true balance comes from simplifying all aspects of life—not just dinner.
Now, this podcast is your weekly dose of simplicity, stress relief, and balance.
✔️ Every Sunday → You’ll get a done-for-you meal plan with quick, healthy, and delicious meals your family will love.
✔️ Every Wednesday → We’ll go beyond mealtime and dive into stress-reducing strategies, time-saving tips, and mindfulness practices to help you feel more at ease in your daily life.
If you’re ready to simplify mealtime, reduce stress, and create more balance and joy, you’re in the right place.
Hit follow or subscribe, and let’s make life feel lighter—one meal (and one mindset shift) at a time.
