138: Are Your Morning Practices Helping or Hurting You?

Are you reacting to your day before it even begins?

Do you wake up and immediately check your phone?

What would it feel like to create space for yourself first thing in the morning?

In this episode of The Courage To Be™, host Tania Vasallo dives into the power of starting your day with intention rather than reaction. She shares how her morning routine has changed over the years—from three sacred hours of journaling, meditation, and movement to shorter, meaningful rituals that fit her current season as a mother. Tania also shares an inspiring anecdote about on of her clients, who replaced stressful morning news with breathwork. Now in her 60s, she recently celebrated holding her breath for 45 seconds—something she never thought possible.

This episode covers the importance of mindfulness, morning routines, daily intention-setting, gratitude, and how small changes can create lasting impact.
