Text your thoughts and questions!
In the world of productivity, there is so much emphasis on morning routines. The problem? The focus has been on an overly simplistic approach that doesn’t take into consideration our energy and rhythms, resulting in guilt and shame when they don’t work. It’s time to reframe our approach to a morning routine. Whitney Baker, founder of Electric Ideas and a self-connection coach, joins me on the podcast to 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!

She guides them in trading stress and soul-numbing routines for clarity, creativity and a life that feels genuinely their own.Her mission is to help women feel lit up from within through small, meaningful shifts that seamlessly weave into everyday life. As a certified meditation teacher and experienced group facilitator, Whitney has a gift for making soulful practices feel not just accessible, but doable—even between work calls and school pickup. She also 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.
