In this episode of The Fulfilled AF Podcast—the final part of our three-episode routines mini series—we're talking about the morning routine and the idea that has tied this whole series together: when you do the work the night before, you get to wake up and say thank you, past me.
I share what my actual morning rhythm looks like as we return to our school-year routine after spring break—waking without an alarm, coffee with gratitude stirred in, a 10-minute meditation, checking my horoscope and cycle, protecting the social media window, getting my kids out the door without rushing, and carving out the post-drop-off practices that are just for me: getting ready without rushing, journaling, a walk, and starting work around 9am from a genuinely nourished place.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE:
Why the morning routine is downstream of the evening routine—and how to receive the gift your past self left
The power of gratitude as the first act of the day—especially for moms
Why 6:30 without an alarm beats 5am with one—and how to find your actual wake-up time
Coffee with gratitude stirred in: how to turn the first cup into a small ceremony
The apps I use every morning: Wild Minds Manifest, Chani, and Stardust
Why I protect the first 2–3 hours from email and social media—and what I do instead
Getting kids out the door calmly—and what the post-drop-off window makes possible
This is part three of a three-episode series. Go back and listen to Episode 16 (Routines for the Season) and Episode 17 (The Evening Routine) to get the full picture.
Because the morning isn't just the start of the day. It's the start of everything.
