The Global Academy of Coaching Podcast_Episode 28

I want to share something with you that has been life-changing not only for me, but for thousands of women inside the Global Academy of Coaching.

Last week, one of my clients, Maria, came to our session in tears. Her mornings felt like chaos — two little kids crying, refusing clothes, refusing food, everyone rushing, everyone stressed, always late. She was devastated… and exhausted.

And I told her something that I want to tell you today:

A great day never starts in the morning.
A great day starts days — even weeks — before.

Science is crystal clear:
A stressful morning increases cortisol for 8–12 hours, slows down the thinking part of your brain by 20–30%, increases inflammation by 30–35%, and mothers need up to 11 hours to regulate their nervous system after a chaotic start.

This is why you feel tired, reactive, overwhelmed or “behind” even on calm days.
It’s not you — it’s your morning.

So in my newest podcast episode, Episode 28: How to Have a Great Day, I share with you the exact 5-step system I’ve built over the last 20 years that allows me to start my days in clarity, calmness, joy, and power — even as a full-time single mom, entrepreneur, athlete, and leader.

You will learn:

• Why your morning is biologically determining your entire day
  • The Sunday routine that saves me 5+ hours every week
  • How I reduce household mental load and avoid morning drama
  • My wellness + beauty rituals that anchor me in feminine energy
  • The night-before system that changed everything
  • The digital boundary that protects my brain
  • And how you can implement all of this starting tonight

My beautiful friend, you deserve mornings that support your brilliance — not steal it.
