Welcome to Episode 2 of The Small Business Journey Show! Your go-to podcast for practical advice, heartfelt stories, and inspiration tailored to small business owners and busy individuals. Each week, I explore topics that help you grow personally and professionally, proving that progress—not perfection—is the key to success.

I’m Chanla Fredrickson, your guide on this small business adventure, bringing authenticity and warmth to every episode. As a skincare founder, mom of two, and someone who has navigated the chaos of entrepreneurship, I’m here to share my real-life experiences—imperfections and all.

In this episode, I’m diving into the power of morning routines and how they can transform your day, week, and even your year. Whether you’re a small business owner or simply looking to bring more peace and productivity into your life, this episode is packed with relatable insights and actionable tips.

I’ll be sharing my personal journey—from chaotic mornings with young kids to a more intentional routine that fills my cup before the day begins. No matter how busy life gets, you’ll hear practical ideas to create a routine that works for you. I’ll also highlight the importance of self-care for small business owners and busy women who often pour so much into others.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How a simple morning routine can set the tone for a more successful day.
  • Why perfection isn’t the goal—showing up consistently is what truly counts.
  • Practical morning routine ideas, from a quick 5-minute tea-and-scripture ritual to longer, sensory-filled self-care processes.
  • The science-backed benefits of grounding (and how you can try it barefoot in your backyard).
  • Tips for structuring your day to maximize productivity and energy, tailored to your unique schedule.
  • How small acts—like making your bed or savoring a cup of coffee—can boost your mood and momentum.

This Episode Is For:

  • Small Business Owners: Learn how to prioritize yourself amidst the hustle to avoid burnout.
  • Busy Parents: Discover flexible routine ideas that fit your season of life.
  • Women Entrepreneurs: Find inspiration to fill your cup before pouring into others.
