0:00.0	Welcome back to the Cultivated What Matters Podcast, where we help you do more of what matters
0:05.0	and less of what doesn't. Today we're continuing our special series, Your Cultivated Summer,
0:10.3	where each week I'm chatting with a woman on team cultivate about the tourist and challenges
0:14.8	of goal setting and intentional living in the summer month.
0:23.2	I am so thrilled to have Emily with me today talking about cultivating what matters with kids
0:28.2	around. Many of us have kids home from school in the summer, and while this can feel like a
0:33.6	challenge when it comes to making progress on your goals, we really hope today's conversation
0:38.5	will give you some practical tips and a fresh perspective on making this a memorable and meaningful
0:43.9	season for everyone in your family while still making progress on what matters. Hey Emily,
0:49.9	welcome back to the podcast. Hey Kelly, I am thrilled to be back. Well I am so glad to hear you
0:55.9	always have so many creative and innovative ideas, but I can't wait to hear them all today.
1:00.7	All right, so we're talking about cultivating what matters with kids around a loaded question
1:06.7	in the summer is how do we do that? But first, let's share something that's helping us live
1:11.4	intentionally right now. Emily, what is it for you? All right, mine is a little nerdy, so get ready.
1:16.2	It is a New York Times Crossword puzzle book, and yes, it has to be a New York Times version.
1:22.4	Like many people, my husband and I were looking for an activity that would occupy us,
1:27.2	but also be restful, and that specifically was screen-free. Something we could do in the evenings
1:32.8	instead of scrolling, and the Crossword puzzle book has been perfect. We keep it on our coffee
1:37.7	table, in our family room, and it's easy to just pick it up and put it down if we have a
1:42.2	few spare minutes because it's right there. But I also love that it gives me something to do while
1:46.9	my kids are playing nearby. I can let them do their own thing, but still be available, and it's not
1:52.9	my phone, which is important to me to model to them. So hopefully I'm also getting a little smarter
	...
