🎙️ Episode in a Nutshell

In this episode of I’m sharing how waking up before my toddler completely changed my mornings. I talk about what led me to start this habit, how I make it work (even as a tired mom), and the surprising impact it’s had on my day-to-day life. I’ll walk you through my simple morning routine, why I prioritize getting ready before my son is up, and how I protect that time for *me* — not my phone. If you’ve ever felt like your day starts in chaos, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how just 10 quiet minutes can shift everything.


🔑 Key Takeaways

  • A calmer start changes everything — You get to begin the day on your terms, not in reaction mode.

  • It doesn’t have to be perfect — Some mornings it's coffee and planning, other days it's just getting dressed. That still counts.

  • Tiny tweaks > Total overhauls — Start with waking up just 10–15 minutes earlier.

  • Prep the night before — A nighttime shower and setting out clothes makes mornings easier.

  • Protect your time — Use that quiet moment for you, not your phone.


👩‍👧‍👦 Why It Matters
