22. Feeling Overwhelmed? This One Change Helped Me Feel Like Me Again

Hellooooo! I'm back after a short pause, and today’s episode is a gentle re-entry into both the podcast and my personal practice. I share why I stepped away, what I learned during that time, and how I’ve been carving out space for myself again.

This episode is about what it looks like to intentionally rework your mornings to feel more grounded, supported, and alive, especially in the chaos of motherhood.

I talk about:

• Why I took a break and how it helped me regroup

• What my new early morning routine looks like (and why it’s not every day)

• How menstrual cycle awareness is helping me manage energy and avoid burnout

• The surprising benefits of going to bed early instead of Netflix-ing the night away

• Why you don’t need to join the 5AM Club to make a meaningful shift

🎧 Whether you're listening during your night feed or a quiet walk, I hope this episode feels like a permission slip to do things your way.
