"When we try and make everybody into this cookie cutter, this is what a leader should look like, we lose the effectiveness and the potency of what is actually their skills." - Ana Brooks

In this week's episode of Her Leadership Coach, I had the pleasure of chatting with Ana Brooks, a "sole purpose activator" who's all about helping women in leadership roles crush it without burning out. We dove deep into the world of morning routines and how they can set you up for success in your career and beyond.

Here's what you'll learn from this episode:

• Why a personalised morning routine is crucial for women in leadership
• How to break free from outdated, masculine-focused approaches to leadership
• Steps to create a morning routine that aligns with your unique needs and goals
• The importance of embracing your individual leadership style

Ana and I had a blast debunking the myth that there's a one-size-fits-all approach to morning routines. We talked about how many of the traditional routines we see are actually designed with men in mind, and why it's so important for us ladies to shake things up and find what works for us. Ana shared some fantastic insights on how to build a routine that sets you up for the day you want, not just responding to whatever comes your way.

One of the things that really stuck with me was Ana's emphasis on flexibility. She encouraged us to give ourselves permission to let go of rigid routines and instead focus on creating a morning that moves with us, not against us. This is especially crucial for women in leadership roles who often juggle multiple responsibilities and need to adapt to ever-changing circumstances.

If you're ready to level up your leadership game and create a morning routine that truly empowers you, this episode is a must-listen.
