Episode 264: How to cook when you hate to cook


Listen Later

Three months ago, I decided to start cooking once a week. 

Not because I decided I love cooking (I didn’t and still don’t).
Or because I suddenly felt inspired.
Or because I needed a new hobby.

I started because it felt aligned with how I wanted to be showing up for my family (aka, my values).

And what this little “once-a-week dinner” experiment has reinforced about behavior change is huge.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

* Why most people fail at new habits (it’s not because they’re lacking willpower)
* The real reason “falling off the wagon” happens
* How to build a system that works even when you skip a week
* Why making it smaller than you think you should is the secret to success

This isn’t about how to meal prep or find the highest protein recipes. 

It’s about how to follow through on something you don’t always feel like doing… without every second of it.
