Better Mornings Start With Knowing This One Thing About Your Body...Your Chronotype

There's a version of you that used to be up at 4:45 a.m. for a 5:30 gym class, no problem. And there's a version of you now where that same early hour feels like a personal attack. In this episode I talk about chronotype, the real, largely genetic reason some of us are wired for mornings and some of us aren't, and why that changes across your life, especially after menopause. I'll walk you through how to actually find your own chronotype (forget the alarm clock), why the gap between your natural rhythm and your real schedule has a name, and a story from my years around law enforcement about what happens when a body gets pushed completely out of sync for years at a time. This one might explain a lot about why mornings feel the way they feel for you. Send us Fan MailOnce a month, I host a free guided journaling practice for women whose stress, anxiety, and overthinking are getting in the way of better sleep.We meet live on Substack at 9PM Eastern.
