   159. The real reason dinner feels so hard for working moms - Tori Wesszer

   📣 EXCLUSIVE for AFO listeners: Get 20% off your annual Fraîche Table subscription with code ALLFIGUREDOUT20 → https://fraichetable.com/ (https://fraichetable.com/) Tori Wesszer is a registered dietitian, a bestselling cookbook author, a mom of two boys and, somewhat by accident, the founder of a software company. Andrea sat down with her in Kelowna right at the end of the tour for her new cookbook, Fraiche and Simple, to talk about the question every busy parent hears around 5:30 PM: what's for dinner? They get into why that question feels so heavy, what a dietitian really thinks about packaged snacks and takeout pizza night, whether AI belongs in your kitchen, and how Tori went from 16 years in a "really good job" to building something of her own. ** In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (04:23) From dietitian to "what am I doing with my life?" (06:03) A business that folded, and the start of the blog (10:10) Cookbooks and legacy (13:59) How 100+ recipes get developed and tested (16:01) AI recipes and what we shouldn't outsource (19:05) Taking the friction out of "what's for dinner?" (28:49) The 15-minute weekly habit, and feeding yourself too (30:55) Food ruts, variety and "the poison is in the dose" (32:23) Mom guilt, packaged snacks and pattern over plate (34:53) Fed is best (35:52) Extra kids at the table and no short-order cooking (38:19) Hosting when your house isn't perfect (41:11) A digital kitchen assistant for holiday hosting (42:40) Accidentally owning a software company (45:31) What's next (49:37) Letting go of all-or-nothing thinking KEY TAKEAWAY Simplify everything that comes before the cooking: decide what's for dinner once a week, get the grocery list sorted, and share it. And go easy on yourself, because no single meal makes or breaks your family's nutrition. Pattern over plate. About Tori Wesszer Tori Wesszer is a registered dietitian, entrepreneur and the founder of Fraîche, which includes the Fraîche Living lifestyle platform and the Fraîche Table meal-planning service. She co-authored the #1 bestselling cookbooks Fraiche Food, Full Hearts and Fraiche Food, Fuller Hearts with her cousin Jillian Harris, and her new cookbook, Fraiche and Simple: Easy Prep and Make-Ahead Recipes for Real Life, includes over 100 recipes and eight weeks of dietitian-designed meal plans. She is passionate about helping women bring more joy and ease into their kitchens, and lives in Kelowna, BC, with her husband and their two sons.

Laura Haver is a play advocate, author, life coach, mom and former pro beach tennis player, and she makes the case that play belongs to grown-ups too. Andrea and Laura get into what play actually is (spoiler, your colour-coded spreadsheet might count), why it slowly disappears as we get older, what happened when Laura said yes to competing again with two little kids at home, and simple ways to bring fun back into busy days, for you and with your kids.

(20:47) Colouring books, spreadsheets and giving yourself permission (22:25) The Playlist Planner and more energy with two little kids (26:42) Quality playtime when you're short on time (28:38) Time blocking play (and the guilt it takes away) (31:35) Saying yes more and letting kids lead (33:51) The mud kitchen (35:31) Bringing play into your own day (37:02) Social media as a playground (42:20) Play and your next career move (44:54) Fun at work and the power of connection (47:16) Daily delight and Gratitude Detectives (50:03) How Laura found her through line (54:49) Try it on, one small step at a time (56:11) What Laura's still figuring out (57:05) Where to find Laura KEY TAKEAWAY Look at what you already enjoy, give yourself credit for it, and put a few phone-free minutes of play on the calendar. A little fun on purpose gives you more energy for everything else. About Laura Haver Laura Haver is a play advocate, author, speaker, life coach, mom and former pro athlete.

   157. 8 surgeries in 18 months, and where he is 5 years later — Scotty Barr

   Three years ago, Scotty Barr (Andrea's husband) came on the show to share the story of eight heart surgeries in eighteen months, more than 100 days in the hospital, and becoming a dad in the middle of it all. And at one point, it became one of our most-listened-to episodes ever, and now Scotty is back to take back the first place! In this episode, Andrea and Scotty get into how he's rebuilt a rhythm across work, health and family, what it's really like being married to your total opposite, why a cardiac patient on blood thinners ended up in a boxing gym, and what each of them is still trying to figure out. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (02:15) Catching up: eight surgeries in eighteen months (05:36) Where he is now, five years later (07:49) Building a rhythm, and the 95/5 rule from Unreasonable Hospitality (10:44) Married to your opposite: routine vs. chaos (12:49) Work: the 3-month contract that turned into almost 5 years (16:05) No work email on his phone, and the 4-day week he kept (18:21) Ego, ambition, and "does this meeting really make sense?" (22:27) Where a "hired gun" fits in the job market (23:47) Health: life after the hospital, and getting into strength training (28:15) A Beautiful Constraint: how limits lead to creativity (30:46) Parenthood as a constraint, and why we love a recalibration (33:08) Finding the right coach, and why a cardiac patient took up boxing (39:53) Sharing boxing with our daughter (47:37) Martial arts, and the mind-body connection (49:20) Why it's good to have your own thing (51:46) Building a care team that actually talks to each other (55:54) What Andrea's figuring out (59:09) What Scotty's figuring out KEY TAKEAWAY Put a few solid rhythms in place for the things that matter most, let everything else stay flexible, and when something stops working, say so and recalibrate together. The limits you're living with (time, energy, little kids) can make the next choice a whole lot clearer.
