This week I tested three viral morning routines from an American wellness girl, a British productivity girl, and an aggressively glowing Australian woman.
The result:
• I gagged on expired coconut oil
• got laughed at by my children while doing Chinese lymphatic movements
• briefly became the kind of woman who makes her bed
• and accidentally discovered a morning habit that might genuinely improve my life.
Also:
• why affirmations made me feel like I was gaslighting myself
• the surprising psychological effect of making the bed
• whether electrolytes are worth the hype
• why “high-fiving yourself in the mirror” feels deeply threatening as an English person
• and the moment I almost accidentally quit the podcast altogether.
