Summary
Struggling to stick to your daily rituals? You’re not alone. In this episode, Marissa Hyatt and Ken Freire break down the four key rituals that set the tone for your day—and how to refresh them without overcomplicating things. Whether you need a morning boost or a better work shutdown routine, this episode will help you make your habits work for you.
Key Takeaways
- Shift From “Ideal” to “Realistic.” Setting a 2-hour morning routine? It’s probably not happening. Instead of planning for ideal, keep it simple. How much time do you really have?
- Make Space By Cutting. Overloaded routines don’t stick. Trim the excess so you can focus on what truly matters.
- Build Rituals You Love Keeping. If you hate waking up, add something you love—like a great playlist or a favorite drink—to look forward to.
- Keep Rituals Fluid. They’ll change with seasons of life, and that’s okay! Adjust them to fit your current reality. (We’ve got ideas to get you started.)

| 0:00.0 | Ken, so one of my guilty pleasures on social media, which I'm trying to do less of, are these |
| 0:06.6 | reels on Instagram or I don't use TikTok, but I'm sure they're on TikTok, which are all about |
| 0:11.8 | people's like morning or evening rituals, like the ones that are like my five to nine before my |
| 0:17.0 | nine to five or my five to nine after my nine to 5. I am so guilty. Like, I could just watch an hour of those. |
| 0:25.9 | That's hilarious. I don't know what it is about seeing into like people's morning routine or |
| 0:32.1 | whatever ritual they're talking about. I'm so captivated by. There's this thing going on right now in |
| 0:38.6 | reels, right, where it's like, we tell, but we don't judge. No, I haven't seen it. So people will tell |
| 0:44.5 | like this secret of like, oh, hey, I did this, but we don't judge, right? But I'm like, oh, man, |
| 0:49.4 | I'm totally judging people's morning routines, especially it comes to ice bathing. You know I got one. |
| 0:56.0 | Yes, I'm judging you, hardcore. I've only used it twice for real, though. I'm judging you. |

| 1:12.2 | Okay. What's been the worst habit you've had or morning ritual? In my morning ritual, |
| 1:18.0 | when I don't really have a habit. It's like when I make a habit out of not doing, like I just get |
| 1:23.0 | up, drink a bunch of coffee, scroll social media, that's probably the worst. |
| 1:28.5 | Yeah, mine was definitely at one point, I was picking up my phone and I was always watching |
| 1:32.9 | something. Like I started watching a show just to wake me up. I'm like, yeah, this needs to stop. |
| 1:38.9 | The worst is when you do that in bed. Not that I've ever done it, but no, hypothetically speaking, |
| 1:43.9 | this is all hypothetical. |
| 1:45.0 | Well, whether you like ice baths or not, we are going to be talking today about our rituals. |
| 1:50.3 | And this is such a great episode that we have. You know, it's springtime. It's a great time to kind of reset and really think about like how do you want to spring clean up your life? |
