Listen ""Do You Own Your Morning or Does Your Morning Own You?”"
Episode Synopsis
Hey y’all — welcome back to Grit, Grace & Transformation! I’m Rachael, and today we’re talking about something that completely shifted my days… and honestly, my healing journey.You’ve heard me say it before — “Do you own your morning, or does your morning own you?”For a long time, my mornings owned me. I’d wake up, check my phone, scroll emails, and before 6 a.m., my peace was already gone. But when I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia back in 2019… I eventually learned that how I begin my day sets the tone for everything — my mindset, my body, and my faith.So today, I want to walk with you through how to own your morning — using the three pillars of my coaching: Mindset, Spirituality, and Movement.Lamentations 3:22–23:“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”Owning your morning means taking back that sacred time. It’s choosing peace over pressure and intention over autopilot.Psalm 143:8:“Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You.”Breathe it in. Let it wash over you.Try this: Inhale — “Your love sustains me.” Exhale — “Your peace surrounds me.” You know, there were mornings during my healing journey when I didn’t want to get out of bed. When fatigue or fear or just plain sadness felt too heavy.But those were the mornings I needed grace the most. Owning your morning doesn’t mean perfection — it means presence.Some mornings will look like coffee, Scripture, and calm. Others might look like tears, breath, and surrender. And that’s okay.The beauty of owning your morning is meeting God before the world meets you. Send me a text: 970.279.1818 “Rachael, I owned my morning!”
