Modern morning routines ask us to improve our life. Judaism asks us to begin by noticing it.

Chronic stress can influence your metabolism, sleep, appetite, blood sugar, and where your body tends to carry fat—which makes your nervous system an important part of the belly-fat conversation.In this solo episode, I'm breaking down what happens to cortisol after you wake up and sharing the simple 10-minute morning routine I want you to try for the next 30 days.We'll talk about morning light, your phone, breathwork, movement, hydration, exercise, and how to identify the stressors that may be setting the tone for your entire day. I'll also explain what I mean by becoming “cortisol flexible” and how you can start working with your stress response instead of constantly feeling controlled by it.In this episode:Cortisol, chronic stress, and belly fatWhat happens to cortisol after wakingWhy morning light mattersThe problem with reaching for your phone immediatelyA five-minute breathing practiceWhen to move and exerciseHow to perform a morning stress auditBecoming more "cortisol-flexible"My 10-minute morning routineA 30-day challenge you can start tomorrowPlus: Take my free Nervous System Questionnaire below to discover your current nervous system state and the practices that may support you.Resources MentionedNervous System Questionnaire Reset Academy Who Are You Becoming?

Do you ever wake up and immediately feel like you're already behind? For years, I rushed into my days without giving my brain any time to catch up. I learned that getting your body ready for the day isn't enough. Your brain needs preparation, too. In this episode, I share the simple morning routine I've been practicing for years: Morning Pages. It's a practice inspired by Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way that gives you time to sit quietly, let your thoughts come out, and clear some of the mental clutter before you begin your day. You don't have to start with an hour or even three full pages. I encourage you to start with what feels ridiculously easy, even if that's just 10 minutes. When something feels easy to your brain, you're much more likely to actually do it. I also share a beautiful piece from my friend Janet Archer about the rush we create in our own lives and the practice of remembering, "there is no better there than here." Because sometimes we're so busy trying to get somewhere else that we miss where we actually are. If you're feeling rushed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, I hope this episode gives you permission to slow down and begin your day differently. Enjoy the show!

What if one of the biggest secrets to long-term Weight Mastery isn't making better decisions all day long—but making fewer decisions in the first place? Over the years, I've realized that so much of what keeps me healthy and maintaining my weight isn't willpower. It's sequencing. One thing cues the next, the next thing cues the next, and eventually those healthy patterns become so familiar that I barely have to think about them. In this episode, I'm taking you inside my morning routine—and we'll look at the science of habit and automaticity, how old Weight Struggle sequences get wired in without us realizing it, and how you can begin creating simple new sequences that support your health, your Inner Coach, and your long-term Weight Mastery. Come on in!   ​Join Our Live Fall 2026 Shift Weight Mastery Process​ ​ ​In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… Why 43% of what you do every day is running on autopilot—and why "Why am I doing this again?" is usually a well-practiced path, not a character flaw Why the "21 days to a habit" rule isn't real, what the research actually found, and why missing a day doesn't undo a thing How to pack your anchors instead of your whole routine when you travel—and why "everything falls apart on vacation" is about missing cues, not missing discipline   Links Mentioned in the Episode: Join my FREE Masterclass:  "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."

The wellness world has sold us a very elaborate lie about mornings. That the quality of your day depends on a precise sequence of activities completed before most people are awake. Cold plunge. Journaling. Meditation. Gratitude practice. Exercise. Hydration. In this episode I offer something much simpler and honestly much more useful: stop starting your day in reaction mode. When you wake up and immediately hand your morning to your phone, to other people's urgency, to news and email and demands, you have already spent the most valuable cognitive and creative window you will have all day. The invitation is not to build a better routine. It is to create one moment of reconnection with yourself before the world gets its hands on you. A two-minute practice you do every day is worth more than a two-hour protocol you do when you feel motivated. The point is not to optimize. It is to orient. Ready to go deeper?

Hey friend,  Do you rely on caffeine just to function most mornings? Does your sleep schedule feel unpredictable no matter what you try? Do you know what morning light is actually doing for your hormones?  I'm Ashley, a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodiverse family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and practice healthy habits that improve your symptoms, even in the middle of a full, demanding life. In this episode, I'm sharing why morning light plays a bigger role in your energy and sleep than most people realize, so you can stop relying on caffeine alone to get through the day. We talk about how a few minutes of real outdoor light sets your body's clock, why it's a different kind of wake-up signal than coffee, and why consistent timing matters as much as getting it at all.   Part 3: Resources and Links Mentioned 1:1 chronic health coaching: https://ashleybraden.com/coaching Join the free Chronic Health Moms Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chronichealthmoms Natural products to support your stress and sleep: ashleybraden.com/shop Related Episodes: 238.

What if the first hour of my day could be worth more than the other 15 hours I spend working? In this episode, I share why I believe most entrepreneurs don't have a productivity problem—they have a protection problem, and their most valuable hours are constantly being stolen by email, notifications, meetings, and low-value tasks. I'll show you how I identify my personal “Money Hour,” protect my peak energy, and use that time to focus on the work that actually drives revenue and moves my business forward. I'll also break down the simple preparation strategy I use to accomplish more in 60 focused minutes than most people get done in an entire workday. If you want to make more money, reduce stress, and stop being busy all day without actually getting ahead, I'll show you how to win your most valuable hour and take control of your day.

I've spent 25 years telling patients the same thing: I can show you the path, but you have to walk it.Nobody proves that better than my guest today.

Today he's the guy Navy SEALs, Olympic athletes, and Fortune 500 CEOs call when they need to think sharper and perform better. His new book, Limitless Daily: 366 Keys to Train Your Brain, Master Your Mind & Win Every Day, distills decades of that work into five minutes a day.We get into what actually happens in your brain in those first waking minutes, why willpower isn't the reason you're stuck, and whether leaning on AI is quietly costing you your own ability to think.

Bryan Johnson's $2M Morning Routine Breakdown: When Self-Optimization Becomes Self-Destruction Self-care habits taken to extremes can destroy the life you're trying to improve. Tracy decodes Bryan Johnson's $2M Project Blueprint—100+ daily supplements, rigid protocols, and biomarker obsession that made relationships "impossible"—as a cautionary tale about when remarkable success mindset becomes psychological harm. After selling Braintree to PayPal for $800M, Johnson's quest for total biomarker control cost him romance, flexibility, and eventually led to autoimmune gastritis. Learn where optimization ends and authentic success begins.https://YourSuccessDNA.comSponsor - https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com Tracy uses Bryan Johnson's extreme “Project Blueprint” as a cautionary tale about how self-optimization can become psychologically harmful. After selling Braintree to PayPal for $800M, Johnson pursued total biomarker-driven control through a rigid routine, 100+ daily supplements, therapies, and sacrifices in relationships, later discontinuing plasma exchanges and admitting his protocol made romance “impossible.” In 2026 he was diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis and began questioning the limits of his approach, amid scientific criticism that treatments conflicted. The script argues everyday people can fall into similar traps via morning routines, trackers, and influencer protocols, citing concepts like orthosomnia, orthorexia linked to health social media, adverse effects from mindfulness programs, and high mental health issues among entrepreneurs. It concludes that the relationship to habits matters more than the habits, and that fulfilling relationships best predict longevity. 00:00 The Optimization Breakdown01:49 Bryan Johnson Origin Story02:33 Project Blueprint Extreme Routine03:52 When The System Cracks05:28 Your Habit Trap Mirror06:43 Tracking Disorders Explained07:50 Meditation Dark Side10:02 Silicon Valley Burnout Crisis12:50 Healthy Optimization Mindset14:20 Relationships Beat Biomarkers15:18 Have I Gone Too Far17:09 Whiskered Wisdom19:22 Final Takeaway Morning routine, Mindfulness meditation, How to build habits, Hustle Culture, Bryan Johnson, Project Blueprint,self-optimization, habit tracking, anxiety, morning routines, wellness culture, burnout, Silicon Valley, mental health, orthosomnia, orthorexia, entrepreneur mindset, success mindset, business tips, self help, Manifestation, growth mindset, self improvement mindset, peak productivity, growth mindset, self improvement, personal development, success habits, startup grind, habit mastery, mindset hack, productivity tips, business mindset, business motivation, entrepreneur motivation, personal growth, mental health, self improvement habits, mindset success, success mindset habits, mindset mastery, success habits Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever downloaded a habit tracker, set an alarm for a new morning routine, or told yourself "this time it's going to stick," only to find yourself back where you started two weeks later? Lisa knows the feeling—and she knows you're not alone. Habits are one of the most talked-about topics in productivity and self-improvement, and also one of the most frustrating to actually live out. That's exactly why Lisa keeps coming back to this topic on the podcast.In this episode, Lisa isn't introducing new material—she's connecting the dots. She rounds up seven of the show's top habit-related episodes, giving you a flavor of each one so you can decide which to revisit in full. It's a look at how the conversation around habits has grown on the podcast, from the foundational framework in episode 15 all the way through the personality-based approach in episode 268.Lisa walks through where it all began in episode 15, leaning on Charles Duhigg and James Clear to explain what habits are and how the brain uses "chunking" to make decisions easier. From there, she revisits her strategy call with Katie Henson in episode 164, applying habit theory to a real morning routine and real life clutter. She covers episode 210's exploration of gratitude as a protective, habit-forming practice, and episode 225's four tips for rebuilding a habit after life disrupts it. She then connects episode 227's approach to habit stacking and keystone habits, episode 249's five energizing habits for sustainable productivity, and closes with episode 268's personality-based approach using the Big Five (OCEAN) traits. Throughout, Lisa ties it all back to self-awareness—the same foundation she introduced all the way back in episode 1.Habits, Lisa reminds us, aren't about willpower or discipline alone. They're about understanding how your brain works, designing your environment and expectations to support you, and building routines that flex with your actual life instead of demanding a version of you that doesn't exist on your hardest days.Key Takeaways:Discover the foundational framework from episode 15 for understanding how habits form and how the brain uses "chunking."Learn how episode 164 applied personality, environment, and timers to build a real, sustainable morning routine.Explore why gratitude (episode 210) functions as a protective factor and a tool for habit reversal training.Understand the concept of "friction" from episode 225 and four tips for rebuilding a habit after life gets in the way.Learn how habit stacking and anchoring (episode 227) help you link new habits to ones you already do automatically.Discover the five keystone habits from episode 249 that support energy management and sustainable productivity.Explore how the Big Five (OCEAN) personality traits from episode 268 help you design habits that fit who you actually are.Understand why self-awareness, first introduced in episode 1, is the real foundation of effective habit building.Thank you for listening!

What does it take to grow a multi-brand hospitality company without losing what made each restaurant special in the first place? In Episode 228 of On The Delo, Delo sits down with Jimmy Herrera and Bill Toole, owners of POV Foods, the group behind Red, White & Brew, Swizzle Inn, Rusty Spur Saloon, 32 Shea, and Lakeside Bar & Grill.Bill and Jimmy both spent decades at Peter Piper Pizza before Bill co-founded POV Foods in 2014 with Rex Moffett. Jimmy joined as the third owner in 2019 to help lead the acquisition and growth of Red, White & Brew. They walk through how the team evaluates new brands to acquire, why they treat Rusty Spur and Swizzle Inn as “one of ones” while scaling Red, White & Brew and 32 Shea, and how a proactive target list keeps them ready when the right opportunity comes along.The conversation also covers empowering teams without red tape, balancing data-driven menu decisions with dietary needs, and the personal routines that keep both leaders grounded while running a company of 270+ employees. If you're building or scaling a multi-location hospitality business, this episode is full of practical insight you can use.Chapter Guide (Timestamps)(0:14 - 1:04) Welcome Back and Meet Jimmy Herrera & Bill Toole(1:21 - 2:14) Red, White & Brew: Mesa and Prescott Locations(2:28 - 3:09) The Prescott Opportunity and Bill's Grill(3:09 - 4:11) Origin Stories: From Pistol Pete's to Peter Piper Pizza(4:11 - 5:40) Founding POV Foods and Jimmy Joining as Third Owner(5:40 - 7:01) Acquiring Red, White & Brew and the Kitchen Remodel(7:01 - 9:05) Splitting the Roles: Finance, Acquisitions, and Innovation(9:05 - 10:47) Empowerment Culture and Growing to 270+ Employees(10:47 - 12:46) The Brand Portfolio as an “Indie Record Label”(12:46 - 14:12) Favorite Restaurants and Repeat Customer Rates(15:31 - 16:33) Marketing: TV, Socials, and Word of Mouth(19:03 - 19:36) Lessons from “Unreasonable Hospitality”(20:45 - 23:55) Data-Driven Menus and Dietary Needs(24:13 - 26:43) Morning Routines and New Puppies(27:17 - 29:24) Team Culture, Recognition, and Company Events(29:24 - 31:58) Non-Negotiables: Quiet Mornings and Daydreaming Time(32:26 - 35:05) Growth Strategy and the Proactive Target List(35:06 - 36:02) Where to Find POV Foods(36:02 - 38:16) Rapid Fire and Delo's Close

Consistency has never come easily to me. I'm a scattered creative, I have ADHD, and I have struggled with routines and habits for pretty much my whole life. For years I assumed that meant something was wrong with me, and I felt like it was my fault that I couldn't stay consistent with anything. But this week's guest, Monica Packer, has changed how I feel about habit-building. Monica hosts the podcast About Progress, she recently wrote the book Sticky Habits, and she's one of my best friends in real life. She has spent a decade teaching women to build habits in a way that is compassionate and realistic for busy moms. She gave me a new definition of consistency in this conversation, and it is the first one that has ever made habit-building feel possible for someone like me. In this episode, you'll learn:

Fall is coming, and with it, that itch to overhaul your whole routine. Please don't.That urge to overhaul everything hits me too every single fall. New routine, new rules, a five-step morning ritual that looks great written down and lasts about two days before real life shows up and knocks it sideways.I'm skipping all that this year. Instead, I'm sharing the exact non-negotiables that have stuck for me, the ones actually making a difference in my nervous system and my progesterone, without turning my mornings into a performance.This episode is me literally walking outside with my glasses in my hand, recording on a 6:30 am walk, because I wanted to show you a hormone-supportive morning doesn't require a silent home office and an extra hour you don't have.Here's what we're getting into:The one free thing I do every single morning that touches cortisol, blood sugar, and hormones all at onceWhy my breakfast is not always "picture perfect" and what I actually drink most mornings to hit my protein goals fastThe slightly ridiculous lymphatic movement I learned on Instagram that I now do in my backyard, kids watchingWhat I'm doing on purpose to protect my sleep, even on the nights everything falls apartWhy skipping my 6 am workout class is sometimes the smartest thing I do all weekThe mindset shift that finally got me out of the all-or-nothing routine trapIf you've ever built yourself a pretty little morning checklist, color coded and full of hope, and then quietly abandoned it by day three, this one is for you.A morning routine that supports your hormones isn't a matter of doing more. Your body is listening for one very specific message first thing in the morning, and that message is safety. When your nervous system reads a room as safe, that's your body's green light to make progesterone, keep estrogen in check, and hand you the steady mood and energy you've been chasing all year.That safety signal doesn't come from a perfect list. It comes from a handful of consistent things, done imperfectly, again and again.For me that starts with morning sunlight. I bring this up constantly on the podcast because it really is the top non-negotiable, and it costs nothing, which I love pointing out. Early morning light hits your eyes in a way your kitchen lights and your phone screen simply can't fake. It tells your body it's daytime in the language your biology actually understands, and that one signal ripples out into your cortisol, your blood sugar, and your hormones.Then there's breakfast, which you've heard me talk about more times than you can count because it genuinely changes everything. Some mornings that's a real plate of food. Other mornings, especially in a high-stress season when my appetite has vanished, it's a protein hot chocolate made in my countertop frother while I plan a real breakfast for later. I walk through exactly what that looks like in the episode, because so many of us carry this quiet belief that if we can't do it perfectly, we shouldn't bother at all. That belief is exactly what keeps you stuck.I also get into the small movement practice I do most mornings to get my lymph and fascia moving after a night of stillness, and why I'm being so intentional right now about protecting sleep on both ends of the day, even when that means skipping a workout I genuinely wanted to go to.If you're in a season where you feel like you're doing everything right and your body still isn't cooperating, or if you've built routine after routine that never actually sticks, this episode might land differently for you. Less about adding one more thing. More about getting honest about what actually matters and letting the rest go.I also want to name something I see constantly with the women I work with, and honestly with myself too. This paralyzing sense that healing your hormones has to be complicated, specific, and nearly flawless to count for anything. That belief works against you every time. Overwhelm and fear aren't neutral background noise. They're stress signals your body reacts to, and stress sits right in the middle of the road between you and the hormone balance you're working so hard for.So this episode is my invitation to simplify. Not to add another list to your already overflowing plate, but to get really clear on the small handful of things that move the needle for your body, and to let everything else be optional.Next time you catch yourself scrolling for the "perfect" morning routine at 11 pm, remember this episode instead. The version of you six months from now, the one with more energy and steadier moods, is built by the boring, repeatable stuff, not the Pinterest-worthy version you never actually do.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:PMS to Peace Private PodcastFix Your Breakfast, Fix Your Hormones Equip ProteinNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

On this solo episode, Travis breaks down how to design a realistic, sustainable morning routine that actually supports your energy, focus, and productivity instead of becoming a four-hour checklist you feel guilty about skipping. Drawing from years of experimenting with different habits, he shares what truly moves the needle—especially if you're a self-described night person who wakes up feeling behind. On this episode we talk about: Why over-engineered, four-hour morning routines can hurt your day more than help it. The core pillars of an effective routine: hydration, sunlight, and movement. Practical ways to move your body in the morning without being a “gym rat.” How journaling, meditation, and even cold showers or sauna can support your mental state. The importance of starting with just one habit and sometimes skipping everything to do your most important work first. Top 3 Takeaways An effective morning routine should change your state, not become a rigid box-checking exercise that makes you feel behind or guilty when life happens. Simple habits like electrolytes and water, getting 15–20 minutes of sunlight, moving your body, and staying off your phone can dramatically improve focus, mood, and sleep. Start with one habit that makes other habits easier—like waking up at a consistent time—and build from there while remembering that sometimes the best move is to wake up and do your most important work first. Notable Quotes "You do not want to have a crazy four-hour long morning routine. It can actually be more detrimental to your day than not having a morning routine at all." "The entire goal here is not to check boxes. The entire goal is to set yourself up to be in a state that allows you to have a productive and positive day." "Start with one thing, and make that one thing the thing that makes other things easier once you've accomplished the first thing on the list."

Opening Bible verse: Proverbs 24:2 IF YOU ARE A NEW LISTENER, WELCOME! BEGIN HERE: This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast! It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.  In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It's only about 20 minutes and you'll meditate on the whole life of Jesus. February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  In March we decluttered your wardrobe. In April we are moving into budgeting for food. Our Saturday episodes will still be about decluttering. Our declutter focus area for April is your bedroom. In May we dreamed big! June brings us to one of the most useful topics in my group coaching course…meal planning. Ah, the feel of knowing exactly what's for dinner is the most stress-free feeling in the world! Our declutter focus area for June is Hallways/Landings. July is a much anticipated month of money/budgeting. Our Saturday episodes (otherwise known as the declutter episodes) will focus on decluttering TOYS! August is the month that brings it all together. Routines and Rhythms. Our declutter focus area for this month is your garage or shed. Give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin: 316. Your 2026 Life Overhaul Plan: Faith, Clutter, Debt, Diet and More!  If you've never prayed a rosary or you want to see how you can incorporate it into active decluttering, here is the first episode of my rosary declutter series from last summer. 288.

If this sounds like you, let's work together. Book a one hour virtual coaching session via Zoom. Together we craft a decluttering plan and I walk you through the process. You'll complete much of the decluttering on your own time at your own pace. I just give you the roadmap and the accountability. Cost $77 per hour. Virtual Coaching Schedule   Not sure what you need?

Your morning starts shaping your brain long before you answer your first email or take your first sip of coffee.In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I walk you through the morning routine I use to support my brain's natural chemistry, boost mental energy, and create focus that lasts throughout the day.Most people think productivity begins when they sit down to work. But your brain is already deciding how alert, focused, and resilient you'll be based on what you do in the first 30 minutes after waking up.I break down the simple science behind hydration, sunlight, movement, breathwork, gratitude, journaling, visualization, and curiosity, and explain why each habit helps prepare your brain to learn faster, think more clearly, and perform at a higher level.
