Are you confused by 100s of TikTok influencers telling you what they do to start your day and live your best life? Ever wondered if you knew what the ACTUAL truth is of all of the information we are hit with about how to start your day? 

Today, we're diving into the science-backed morning routines with neuroscientist, Emily McDonald. She shares her top tips and tricks for mornings and nights that will make you a happier, healthier, and more energized individual. Say goodbye to trial and error and hello to science-based strategies for a better wake up call. 


Louise and Emily discuss:

  • The vital connection between morning sunlight, serotonin, and anxiety.

  • How incorporating meditation and exercise in the morning can set the tone for a successful day (and whether it needs to be in the morning).

  • The benefits of starting your day with a challenging task instead of reaching for your phone or coffee.

  • Whether coffee is ok to be incorporated into the morning routine?

  • Why Emily is so into frequency music

  • The impact of bedtime activities and nightly routines on the next day's success; and more.
