Do you ever have to drag yourself out of bed?

Do you wonder what the most energizing morning routine would be to start your day?

Are you tired of waking up and grabbing your phone when you could be doing other things?

Have you been frustrated that you don’t get up early enough to take time for yourself — or to work on a creative project or dream?

If you are nodding your head to any of those, it sounds like you need some super morning motivation to get out of bed and feel great about your day.

There are a lot of reasons why getting out of bed is hard for you.

I could list any number of issues I’ve heard over the years from my clients who are trying to design more meaningful lives with impact and purpose. They tell me they get to bed too late or don’t get enough sleep. They share that they love how cozy their bed is on cold mornings.

But sometimes not wanting to get out of bed is a stress or trauma response to the stress or burnout you may be feeling in your life due to being unhappy at work or in a relationship or in your career.

I work with highly sensitive, wildly creative & extremely ambitious entrepreneurs who want to grow their unique brands & businesses organically — without spammy, scammy tactics.

To do that, we work with finding alignment … which means we get to the root of what’s zapping your energy and motivation and help you realign so you can design and lead a more fulfilling business with meaning, purpose and impact.

Mornings are often one of the best places to start infusing the tools you need to bounce forward from all any stress that’s going to pop up during your busy day. Even in the middle of a really hard moment you can use your morning habits to feel stronger and more in control of your life.

I’ve have had a consistent and powerful morning routine for more than 10 years. This past year I tweaked it to be even more impactful for myself and I am a better mother and wife when I take that time for myself.

Lately, with the addition of a new puppy, I was reminded how hard it can be when life feels crazy to make yourself get up and do what needs to be done.

But I quickly learned, again, that getting up early and sticking to my morning routine is absolutely my top priority each day.

While I begin my day with meditation, yoga, coffee and writing, I also work in nearly all of these other habits as well. These are what help me show up for my early morning client calls with a smile and ready to support them.
