194: The Identity Shift That Changed My Mornings

Is becoming a morning person the secret to success? Maybe not—but, surprisingly, it’s been a real game-changer for Elizabeth. In this episode, she talks about what has happened in just four days of getting up before her kids, and importantly, why it has nothing to do with weight loss, hustle culture, or trying to force herself into someone else’s schedule. Instead, these early mornings have given her a rare pocket of quiet—time to think, breathe, and start the day intentionally before life gets busy.

Moreover, Elizabeth reflects on how small shifts in mindset have made a big difference. She talks about letting go of old beliefs that told her mornings had to be rushed or stressful, and instead, experimenting with simple actions that help her feel grounded and focused. It’s not about perfection—it’s about trying, failing, adjusting, and noticing what actually works. Consequently, she shares how these few hours have become a space for reflection, creativity, and planning, giving her energy and clarity that carries through the rest of the day.

Furthermore, listeners get a real-time look at this messy, evolving identity shift. Elizabeth doesn’t sugarcoat the challenges—waking up early isn’t always easy—but she talks honestly about the little wins, the surprising insights, and the sense of control that comes from carving out time for herself. Whether it’s setting intentions, breaking old habits, or just enjoying a quiet cup of coffee before the chaos, she shows how small changes can feel surprisingly transformative.

Finally, tune in to hear Elizabeth’s journey and, perhaps, get inspired to try your own version of reclaiming your mornings, one small step at a time.
