359 - Not a Morning Person or is it Actually AM Anxiety? Signs You Might Be Waking Up in Fight-or-Flight (and What to Do About It)
If you wake up already anxious, overstimulated, or feeling behind—you’re not imagining it.
Mornings can be brutal when your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.
And no amount of coffee, planners, or morning routine hacks will fix what’s really happening in your body.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what’s actually going on when mornings feel hard—and how to shift it with nervous system-based tools that work in real life (not just on someone’s aesthetic IG grid).
We’re diving into:
✔️ What a dysregulated nervous system looks like first thing in the morning
✔️ The sneaky habits making AM anxiety worse (even when they feel “normal”)
✔️ Simple, body-based shifts to start your day feeling grounded—not reactive
If you’ve been telling yourself you’re just “not a morning person,” it might be time to look deeper. Your body is asking for safety. Let’s help it find it.
