Episode #049 - How to Balance Science and Family in Your Morning Routine

If we aren’t intentional, mornings can be a time of stress, rushing busily to get everyone ready for work or school.  Have you ever stopped to think about what your ideal morning would look like to allow you to achieve your goals as well as those of your family? In this episode, we discuss our own routines, how we get our families involved, and some of the science behind why we do what we do. Our goal is to help you identify tools and practices that will help you set up an intentional morning leading to better days and years ahead with your family.   Apologies for the audio issues in this episode!
