Your alarm goes off. Within 30 seconds, you're scrolling through text and emails and Instagram

reels and news alerts. Your brain is already spinning with 17 different priorities before

you've even brushed your teeth. Does that sound familiar?

If your phone becomes your life coach, your inbox becomes your boss, and somehow that group chat about gluten-free brownies is the most urgent thing on your radar, I think you know

what I'm talking about. You're just starting your day like most people do, in survival mode.

But here's what I discovered. The women who seem

like they have it all together, they're not superhuman. They just refuse to let the world set the tone

for their day. That's what we're going to get into. But before we get started, I want to tell you.

Okay, let's dive back in. It's not that they're out there meditating in silk robes at sunrise.

They're just not answering emails before they brush their teeth. They've learned the secret of the first five minutes.

Not the first hour, not some elaborate morning ritual that requires waking up before the sun.

Just five intentional minutes that create a firewall between who you are

and what the world demands of you. Because when you don't take those minutes, you're essentially

handing the remote control to everyone else. Your boss sets your mood with that urgent email. Your

kids' chaos becomes your chaos. Your phone's notification become your priority

list and you spend the entire day reacting instead of responding. And there's a massive difference.

And you luckily don't need a 5 a.m. workout or a Himalayan salt lamp or a perfectly created smoothie

bowl to own your day. You don't even need a whole new routine.

You just need a few minutes, a tiny pause, a small, sacred window of clarity. They'll help you

remember who you are and what matters today and how you want to show up. Because when you start

your day in reactive mode, scrolling, worrying, rushing, you're already behind.

You've already messed up your dopamine. We've talked about that on lots of different shows.
