Listen "Stop Overthinking Your Morning Routine (Do This Instead)"
Episode Synopsis
If you've ever tried to copy someone else's "perfect" 5:00 AM morning routine only to give up after two days, you're not alone. As a working mom of four, I know firsthand how hard it is to stick to rigid checklists that don't match real life. In this episode, I share how I replaced my all-or-nothing routine with a flexible "morning menu" that actually works in busy seasons.
