In this episode, we’re going to be discussing wellness, and morning routines in particular. Megan shares that the benefits she's seen and felt by creating space and time just for her before the rest of her world wakes up. She shares that it's perfectly natural for our morning routine to ebb and flow with your lifestyle. So, this episode isn’t going to be plea for everyone to wake up at 5am, but to craft a schedule that sets you up for your day.

We cover: 

• the importance of a morning routine to set you up for your day,
• how being regimented about your routine can keep you stuck
• things to consider when building your morning routine

Anna Donaghey is an Alcohol Mindset Coach and Speaker on the lived experience of alcohol addiction. Anna's story is all about how she took control and turned her life around after being stuck in a cycle of alcohol addiction for a lot of her working life.

In her coaching practice, ‘The Beliefs Coach’ she helps people take control, find freedom and make alcohol small and irrelevant . Her  work involves helping people dig into the emotions and beliefs around  WHY they drink, because these beliefs can be dismantled and reshaped to  create powerful mindset shifts and new, healthier behaviours.
