If you’ve ever felt guilty for not waking up at 5AM, meditating and journaling and running a marathon before breakfast—this episode is for you. I sat down with Becca Post (https://forwardhealing.co/), intuitive therapist, coach, and fellow gluten-free baking enthusiast, to talk about what happens when you ditch the “perfect routine” and start anchoring your day with rituals that actually fit your real life.

POCKET RITUALS WORKBOOK

Becca and I riff on the messy, unpredictable workdays that come with running your own business, especially when “routine” means whatever grounds you—whether that’s sipping warm water in the morning or driving in silence after a client call. We get blunt about the myth of consistency, talk anchor points instead of rigid schedules, and laugh about how anyone’s nervous system is supposed to stay chill when every business podcast out there wants you to “never miss a Monday.” Spoiler: Ordinary wins count just as much as the shiny ones.

Key Takeaways:

• Reclaim mornings (and sanity) by recognizing small anchor points you already do—think drinking coffee, warm water, or taking a shower—without piling on extra rules.

• Build flexibility into your workday by asking, “What actually grounds me?” instead of forcing yourself to stick to routines that just make you miserable.

• Give yourself permission to make change “more often than not”—consistency isn’t about perfection, it’s about what feels doable for ordinary business owners, just like you.

This podcast is for business owners who are tired of hustle culture and want relatable, honest conversations about running a sustainable business that actually works for their life.
