Embracing A Nourishing Morning Ritual By Listening to Your Body AND Your Soul

07/18/24 • 20 min

Do you have a morning ritual? If you do, does it nourish your body and your Soul? In this episode, I share the importance of creating a nourishing morning ritual.
The way we begin our day creates the foundation for our day. Most of us jump out of bed and dive right into our day - whether it's getting kids up and off to school, checking your email and/or social media, drinking coffee, or watching the news. This creates a lot of stress and dysregulation to our nervous systems. It puts us in a hyper-masculine energy state when women are better served by beginning the day with more feminine energy. Women are more fluid in nature and require a morning ritual that's adaptive and intuitive.
