Mornings can be tough, for all kinds of reasons. Maybe it’s the struggle of getting out of bed, the overwhelming to-do list, or that quiet (sometimes loud) anxiety about what the day might bring. For me, the hardest part about mornings, especially Mondays, is never quite knowing how I’m going to feel when I wake up. Some days I’m fine, others I’m spiraling before I’ve even brushed my teeth.

So, I did what any overthinking, slightly-existential, non caffeinated human would do: I created a morning routine. And while it hasn’t magically fixed everything, it has helped a lot more than I expected. It clears my mind, calms my nerves, and honestly reminds me that most of what I was worried about was just noise in my head.

In this episode, I’m sharing my routine, probably in more detail than necessary, but if you’re looking for ideas, inspiration, or just a little reassurance that you’re not the only one battling your brain in the morning, this one’s for you.

You ever think about how most of us are in some kind of service job, even if it doesn’t look like the usual “customer service” stuff? We’re all out here interacting, showing up, giving something of ourselves... and people walk away with their own experience of that. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes those interactions actually feel good—for them, but also for us.

This episode is me sorting through memories, moments, and maybe a few patterns I’ve started to notice. Is “good service” really about the script, or is it about something deeper..connection, attention, intention? Let’s unpack that together.

For a long time, I convinced myself that structure was the key to avoiding a psychological breakdown. Like many of us, I found comfort in routine..it gave me a sense of control, of safety. But as I got older, I noticed something shift. My definition of structure started to blur with my work, and eventually, I began to equate the two. That worked… until it didn’t.

In this episode, I’m opening up about the journey of untangling structure from identity, and what it means to seek stability without losing yourself in the process. If you’ve ever felt afraid of the unknown or found yourself clinging to routine just to stay afloat, this one’s for you.
