Bounce out of bed with Amanda Ewin
I’ve been playing around with new rhythms and rituals recently - a practice I’ve experimented with many times over the years, whenever I find myself feeling out of alignment. And while I’ve always known how important mornings are to me, this year I feel like I’ve been learning the lesson over and over.
So today’s guest, the effervescent Amanda Ewin, has arrived on the pod at precisely the right time. In this episode she shares her story of overwhelm, loss, grief, reflection and transformation, and through it all weaves the thread of mornings.
First as the overwhelmed mother and business owner who found the mornings chaotic, through to the woman who now bounces out of bed, nary a snooze button in sight.
We talk about the process of establishing and revisiting her morning rhythms as life changes, as well as the handy notion of “habit stacking” that has allowed her to develop space in her mornings for meditation, movement, breath work and play.
Amanda also shares her thoughts on ‘the tyranny of the shoulds’ and why redefining success and doing the work to uncover our personal values lies at the heart of any lasting transformation.
We also discuss:
why hitting the snooze button is (usually) a terrible idea
the Wim Hof breathing method
why both Amanda and I have been afraid of goals in the past
why it’s important to understand the difference between dreams and goals
I can almost guarantee you will finish this podcast episode with some extra pep in your step! So take a listen and enjoy.
