Ep. 85: Own your morning: Creating a morning routine that works for you

Can you believe we’re already at 85 episodes? What started as messy action (with the microphone accidentally off!) has grown into something I truly love. And interestingly enough, my most downloaded episode of all time is still Episode 2: Morning Routine and Why It’s Important. So today, we’re revisiting that topic with an updated, more refined, and very real look at what morning routines can look like in this season of life.In this episode, I’m breaking down how to create a morning routine that works for YOU — not one that looks good on Instagram, not one that works for someone else’s life, but one that supports your goals, responsibilities, and current season.We talk about: • Naming your current season and how your mornings feel • Defining what your ideal morning looks like • Identifying your “why” for waking up earlier • Preparing the night before for success • Following through when the alarm goes off (5-4-3-2-1 blast off!) • Starting small, tracking progress, and habit stacking • Reassessing your routine as life changesI also share how my own mornings have evolved over the years — from writing books at 4:30am with little kids at home, to navigating early powerlifting practices, busy teen schedules, and demanding jobs. This season looks different, and that’s okay. Morning routines should change as we change.We also touch on a few favorite resources if you need extra motivation: • The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod • The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins • Atomic Habits by James ClearAt the end of the day, when you win the morning, you win the day. But only if it’s a routine that energizes you, supports your goals, and fits your real life.If you’d like help building your own rockstar morning routine that works for YOU, grab this free PDF.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F8eKf5dKeUvZwUFZLhuuJ5IbKPePBy0t/view?usp=drivesdkThank you for listening!~Allison
