Good morning, guys. Welcome back to Not Your Typical with me, Caitlin Nolan, not your typical fitness lover,

and I'm actually a personal trainer now too, which is fun. But I'm excited for today's episode because

I've been wanting to talk about my morning routine, how I kind of transition into being more of a

morning person. So don't race, not going to be too pushy in this episode. I'm

definitely naturally a night owl, but that's why I wanted to talk about this and kind of help anyone

who struggles with waking up early or starting their day off on a good note. But there's so much that

goes on online. There's so many tips. There's so many podcast episodes. And I'm sure if you're listening to this,

Okay, well, that's my life and that's okay and it fits into my life. But as you guys can kind of

see, like, it wouldn't fit into that example. So just keep that in mind as you listen and don't compare yourself. You're not a better person if you wake up earlier.

You're not a better person if you put skincare on in the morning. And also it's important to know that there are many

mornings that I skip over all my morning steps and I go straight into work. And the reason why I will say that

these morning habits and the things that I'm going to talk about

today do help is because I am someone that is a little bit more like scattered with my routine

just because the day-to-day work that I have is so different. So there's many, many days that I

almost neglect my entire tips that I give you guys and do the complete opposite just because
