Summary
#235. Rise & shine! In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I mastered my 5 AM morning routine and why it’s completely changed the way I move through my days. From quiet, cozy mornings before the world wakes up to little rituals that make me feel grounded, disciplined, and intentional, I’m breaking down exactly how I set myself up for success.
We’ll chat about:
+ The power of early mornings & why they matter
+ My step-by-step 5AM routine (realistic + simplified)
+ Tips for actually sticking to a morning routine long-term
+ What waking up early has taught me about discipline, energy & presence
+ How to manage your energy so you don’t hit that dreaded afternoon crash
Plus, I’m sharing my current favs (hello, pinky ring + new living room setup ) and the little things making my mornings feel extra good lately.
Whether you’re a 5 AM girly or you just want to feel more intentional with your mornings, this episode is your sign to create a routine that supports you, fuels you, and makes you excited to wake up.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, good morning and welcome back or welcome to Morning Ray. I'm your host, Lan, or |
| 0:08.2 | Lana, and today's episode is all about my early as fuck morning routine, my 5am morning routine, |
| 0:15.5 | or sometimes it's honestly 4.30 a.m. And I feel like I finally have got it downpack. I finally know what |
| 0:24.4 | works, what doesn't, what makes it easier, what makes it harder. And I know you guys are always asking |
| 0:31.3 | me when I'm posting my 4 a.m. 5 a.m. morning routine little reels and TikToks, how the hell do you do that, Alana? And I know my friends |
| 0:40.1 | always ask me. So I thought, why don't I create a little episode for you guys? And you can apply |
| 0:46.4 | this even if you're not planning on waking up at 5 a.m. because it's really not for the faint of heart. |
| 0:51.6 | It's not for everyone. And these are kind of still the same things that I |
| 0:55.0 | apply even when I wake up at 6am, 7 a.m., 8 a.m., whatever it is. But truly, it has gotten easier |
| 1:01.9 | over the past few months, so I thought I'd share how I have mastered it. And waking up earlier |
| 1:07.1 | makes me feel more productive. I feel ahead of the world. I feel more grounded, more calm, |
| 1:13.3 | more present. And I feel like it really just helps set the tone for the rest of my day. So we'll get |
| 1:20.1 | into that. But let's start off with my current faves. I'm currently obsessed with my pinky ring. |
| 1:25.4 | I lost it for a week, you guys. It fell off. I learned when I was doing my |
| 1:29.9 | laundry. I found it a week later in, I have like a front loading washer, and it was literally sitting in |
| 1:36.9 | like the rubber fold thing propped perfectly up, diamond up top. And I'm just like, oh, it's like my |
| 1:43.3 | washer is proposing to me yeah I knew it was |
| 1:46.5 | somewhere in my apartment I just didn't know where I'm not the type of person to lose things |
| 1:51.5 | I do think I need to get it resize though because she's a little loose and it literally flew off |
| 1:57.1 | my finger this morning so I think I need to get it taken down half a size at least. |
| 2:02.7 | So we got to do that. I've been using the new Jassu shampoo and conditioner and I absolutely love it. |
| 2:09.9 | I've been trying to use more hydrating hair products on my hair. I've been doing a lot of research |
