What if chasing someone else's "perfect routine" is the very thing sabotaging your success? In this disruptive Monday Myth Busting episode, Heather takes on one of the biggest lies in productivity culture: that there's a magical morning routine that will transform your life if you just follow it exactly. Through hilarious personal failures (hello, 5 am challenge disaster) and hard-won wisdom, she exposes why guru worship is keeping you stuck and how your natural rhythms might be your secret weapon. This isn't just about morning routines—it's about the courage to trust yourself over the latest productivity trend.What's Inside:Heather's brutal 10-day 5 am challenge that nearly broke her (spoiler: she works until 10 pm naturally)The Christmas product launch disaster that followed all the "perfect" marketing rules but still floppedThe brilliant baking metaphor: why she can make the same Victoria sponge recipe and get wildly different results based on stress levelsThree myth-busting truths about why nothing works for everyone and nothing stays the sameThe uncomfortable reality that energy and belief trump technique every single timeWhy honest self-awareness beats guru worship (and saves your sanity)Permission to trust your natural rhythms instead of fighting themThe Uncomfortable Truth:You're not broken if the 5 am routine doesn't work for you. You're not failing if meditation makes you anxious or cold plunges make you miserable. Sometimes the "perfect" formula is missing the most important ingredient: YOU.Key Takeaways:Nothing stays the same, and nothing works for everyone—that Silicon Valley CEO's routine might be perfect for him but self-sabotage for youEnergy and belief trump technique every time—you can have the perfect strategy, but if your energy is off, "the flour takes it personally"Honest self-awareness beats guru worship—ask what you already excel at rather than copying someone else's blueprintTrust your natural rhythms instead of forcing yourself into someone else's optimal performance windowThis Week's Awareness Experiment:Instead of forcing yourself into another guru's "perfect" routine, pay attention to when you naturally feel most energized, creative, and productive. Notice what conditions help you thrive. Maybe you're a 9 pm powerhouse, not a 5 am warrior. Maybe your perfect morning involves sleeping until 8 am.
