Positively Living®: Shame-Free Productivity Conversations
If You Change Your Morning, You Can Change Your Life with Whitney Baker
Text your thoughts and questions!
In the world of productivity, there is so much emphasis on morning routines, but this approach has been on overly simplistic. It doesn’t take into consideration our energy and rhythms. Whitney Baker, founder of Electric Ideas and a self-connection coach, joins me on the podcast to reframe our approach. We discuss how you can take your mornings from chaotic to intentional by taking a personalized approach that supports your energy and lifestyle. This week, episode 264 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about changing your morning to change your life!
Whitney Baker is the founder of Electric Ideas and a self-connection coach devoted to helping modern women—especially moms—reignite their inner spark. As a certified meditation teacher and experienced group facilitator, Whitney has a gift for making soulful practices feel not just accessible, but doable. She hosts the globally ranked Electric Ideas podcast, which is among the top 3% of most listened-to podcasts worldwide.
In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, Whitney Baker shares why the traditional concept of a morning routine doesn’t work for everyone and gives you actionable steps to take right now to break free from rigid morning routines and take a more compassionate approach.
Whitney and I cover the following topics:
- Why having a morning routine is important (and what to do if mornings aren’t your thing).
- A key question to ask yourself to start considering what your morning routine should look like.
- Why a morning rhythm, not routine, might work better for you.
- Recognizing the difference between rest and rejuvenation and when to prioritize each.
Remember that a morning routine isn't about perfection or precision, but about practicing self-love and intentionality. Start small, be kind to yourself, and watch how these tiny shifts can transform your entire day.
