Morning Routines Reframed: Three Non-Negotiables for a Feel-Great Day

In this episode of The Self Love Project, we’re busting the myth that a “perfect” morning routine is the secret to success and instead reframing mornings as a tool for self-love. Megan shares her own experiences with trying every popular routine under the sun — from miracle mornings to endless checklists — and the shame spiral that happens when you can’t keep up. You’ll learn why routines actually work on a brain-and-nervous-system level, why they fail when we copy other people’s lives, and how to create one that’s flexible, supportive, and yours. She breaks down her “3 non-negotiables” — doing something for your body, your mind, and your soul — and shows how even five minutes can shift your energy for the day ahead. This episode is a permission slip to ditch the all-or-nothing thinking and design mornings that meet you where you are. Because your morning routine isn’t a test to pass or fail — it’s a conversation with yourself about what you need to feel good.
