Waking up with a racing heart, spinning thoughts, or a heavy feeling in your stomach is more common than you might think.

Morning anxiety often starts with something natural—the cortisol awakening response. For most people, this hormone surge helps ease them into the day. But if your nervous system is on edge, it can feel like a full-blown alarm instead of a gentle nudge.

There’s nothing you’re doing wrong; it’s just your body’s way of responding to stress. The good news is that you can turn it around. By learning how to desensitize your nervous system, sticking to simple routines, and avoiding over-focusing on sleep, you’ll notice your mornings becoming easier.

In this episode, I’ll break down what’s happening in your body and share how you can move past the overwhelm. It’s a process, but with time, calm mornings are absolutely possible.
