Goal #5: A morning routine that can change EVERYTHING.
May’s recovery goal is to create a simple, supportive morning routine, because the way we begin our day can shape everything that follows. In this solo episode, Amy shares why morning routines are one of her favorite tools for eating disorder recovery and how you can build one that actually sticks — without stress or perfectionism.
We discuss:
- Why mornings are a powerful time for brain and habit change
- The science behind how routines impact cortisol, anxiety, and mood
- Why chaos fuels eating disorders and how routines bring safety
- Recovery-friendly ideas for grounding your mornings (no 5 a.m. bootcamps here unless you really want to)
- Tips to start small and make your routine sustainable
- How a gentle rhythm can rebuild trust with your body and mind
Whether you're brand new to recovery or looking to deepen your healing, this episode will leave you inspired to start your day with more intention, peace, and self-compassion.
