Summary

Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live and I'm hopping in today with another solo episode all about morning routines!

Here's what we discuss:

Why morning routines are so powerful and how they can impact your mood, energy, and productivity throughout the day.
My previous "rat race" morning routines and how she's evolved to a more sustainable, habit-stacked approach.
"Non-time-structured" morning habits, including avoiding phone scrolling, getting sunlight exposure, and prioritizing hydration.
My go-to, autopilot breakfast that's packed with nutrition and protein.
Incorporating PEMF, red light, and binaural beats into her mornings for optimal well-being.
The power of journaling and gratitude, and how to manifest your goals by writing them as if they've already happened.
Book recommendations for cultivating a positive mindset and effective habits
Creative ways to use AI (like ChatGPT) to optimize your daily routine and maximize productivity.
The importance of consistency over intensity and finding what truly moves the needle for you, rather than comparing yourself to others.
and so.much.more!

If any of my fellow health professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go one to heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You can absolutely join if you don't currently work in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs don't begin on this path. They're friends who are passionate to learn more about health and wellness, and want to share this information with those they love. You can do this as a passion, or start an entirely new career.
