What I do every morning to stay calm, clear, and grounded as a trauma-informed coach for high-achieving women đ
Letâs be honest: âcalm morningsâ arenât something you just wake up and have, theyâre built with tiny practices you repeat even when you wake up anxious, tired, or already behind.
As someone whoâs coached (and lived) through burnout, hereâs my real process:
Before I touch my phone, I do a 60-second check-in, name one feeling, one body sensation, and one breath I can slow down.
I move: stretch, step outside if I can, feel my feet (even for a minute).
I pick a ânorth starâ for the day, a tiny phrase or anchor: gentle, steady, or âjust one thing today.â
The truth? You donât have to do it all to feel grounded. You just need one moment where your body gets the memo itâs safe to pause.
If youâre one of those âstrong women holding it all togetherâ and you want practical calm (not wellness fluff), join my free group Off the Therapistâs Couch and Into Your Life for daily tools and real talk. (Link in bio or comment JOIN for access.)
