I'm always convicted when I hear people talk about being reactive in the day only to the urgent at the expense of being proactive to the important - and my guest today, Cara Harvey, hit me with exactly that guilt. Without the "guilt" part! Cara is a superstar in the world of productivity for moms, but she refuses to subscribe to the "busy is a badge of honor" culture. Being productive isn't about doing it all. It's about doing what matters, choosing what you want in life, and feeling peaceful and aligned every day. We dug deep into how proactive productivity, proper goal setting, and realistic routines can help parents reach healthy living goals and even be more successful at getting their kids in the kitchen building life skills. Cara talks fast, which I love, but you might only be able to listen to this interview at 1.5x speed instead of 2x. :)We talk about:* Why being proactive is so important (and how to stop being only reactive).* Why motivation and willpower aren't all that important with goal setting. * The research about 21 days to build a habit, and Cara's revisions for moms who actually have kids interrupting them constantly. * A habit stacking process that really works to implement healthy changes.* Choosing data over drama, even for people like me who don't like schedules. * A powerful and practical strategy to get rid of all your roadblocks that get in the way of starting with your kids in the kitchen (and how to make kids cooking a habit that sticks).* A quick peek into why time blocking creates both structure and freedom to help moms waste less time but feel good (and not harried) about their schedule.* The importance of a few 30-minutes blocks of time for...NOTHING. Cara is someone my team and I look up to, and I know you'll want to connect with her too!Visit the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse and see how we teach children confidence in the kitchen: https://kidscookrealfood.comFind all the Kids Cook Real Food Healthy Parenting Connector videos at https://youtu.be/GVRq0m-Ehe4
