No Small Talk- Conversation Starters for Introverts

25. What is the First Thing You Think About in the Morning? | Conversation Starters for any Situation


Listen Later

The question for today's episode asks about the first thing on a person's mind when they wake up in the morning.  And while you may assume that the discussion would center around morning routines, nah- not necessarily! 

This question can elicit truths about a person's priorities, fears, frustrations or.... actual routine! The point is it's unpredictable! And while we answered the question, it wasn't what most may have expected, since it didn't involve alarm clocks and snooze buttons! For instance, Sherry shared some very personal information about her fears and anxiety concerning being single. And Ebony discussed getting herself and her children into a routine in light of COVID-19.  


We also talk about: 

  • The power of examining people in your life or a famous person who resembles your story and where you want to be, a different type of "vision board" 
  • The significance of female role models like Michele Obama and Meghan Markle for women in their mid to late 30's hoping to start a family 
  • The difficulties in trying to maintain sleeping patterns and daily routines during COVID and steps we can take to stay balanced and re-recreate "normalcy"
