🌅 Rethinking Morning Routines: It's Not About Perfection, It's About Connection and Rhythm

Published 25 days ago • 1 min read

Reader

Let's get real about morning routines.

I used to think a "perfect" morning meant waking up at 5 AM, meditating for an hour, journaling, and drinking a healthy smoothie or something…all before my kids even stirred. Spoiler alert: That was NOT my reality. And it’s never going to be! (More power to you if it is, but I like to keep it real here and that approach simply isn’t sustainable to my life.)

As a caregiver, entrepreneur, and mom, I learned the hard way that productivity isn't about forcing yourself into someone else's system. It's about understanding your unique energy, creating space for intentionality, and showing up for yourself first.

As a productivity coach, I've seen countless clients struggle with the same issue, trying to bend themselves into this perceived "ideal" morning routine. They keep trying to make it work, but it isn't sustainable for them either.

If that sounds familiar, I have good news for you and a podcast episode to back it up!

In episode 264, I sat down with Whitney Baker, and we blew the lid off traditional morning routine advice. Here's what you need to know...

Forget Rigid Routines, Embrace Morning Rhythms

✅ Your morning doesn't need to look like anyone else's

✅ Start with just 5 minutes of intentional time

✅ Ask yourself: "What do I ACTUALLY need right now?"

​
​Remember: Small shifts create big transformation. Approach this with self-compassion and let it evolve with each season of your life. ​

Reader Ever feel like traditional productivity advice just doesn't click with you? I hear that from clients constantly and the reason is simple: One-size-fits-all solutions are a myth. What makes you you is what will help you find your most effective productivity path, and your unique personality is one of those aspects. Knowing your personality and working with it is the real secret weapon to working smarter, not harder. This is why I do assessments first with my clients. When I coach you, I...

Reader Last week I asked you if you could magically fix one thing to be more productive, which of the following would it be: 1) figuring out what you need to do, 2) scheduling and fitting it all in, 3) developing the systems to track it all, or 4) getting yourself to take action. The results are in across multiple platforms and... ::Drumroll Please:: It was a TIE between #2 Scheduling it to fit it all in, and #4 Getting yourself to take action and do the stuff on the list! What does this...

Reader This month, I want to talk about something we often misunderstand: PRIDE. Yes, I mean that kind of pride. I am a rainbow-wearing, Free Mom Hug card-carrying safe space and any time we can elevate humans and prioritize love, it’s a good day. I also mean the simple concept of pride in terms of how we feel about ourselves. Because I have found it to be decidedly misunderstood, no matter the context. The pride I mean is not a boastful thing. It’s a powerful, self-accepting belief in your...
