65 | Designing a Morning Routine You Can Stick to with Amanda Dennelly

Published: Aug. 2, 2018, 4 a.m.

Today I’m talking with Amanda Dennelly about designing a morning routine you can stick to. Amanda and I have a great discussion about why having a morning routine is so important for business owners and how it can affect your day and your life. She also talks about the importance of mindset work and how that’s going to look different for everyone. We talk about how your morning routine isn’t going to look just like everyone else’s and you don’t have to follow a prescribed formula because it’s more about finding things that fit you and making small tweaks so that you really feel the way you want to as you start your day. We then talk about adjusting our morning routine to fit our lives as entrepreneurs when our family or friends are home and need more flexibility.

Amanda Dennelly helps creatives and entrepreneurs that are feeling stressed and overwhelmed stop overcomplicating their day-to-day so they can grow their business and create more time to do what they love. She helps clients shift their mindset around their mile-long to-do list and create room in their schedule to finally breathe, all because of rather than in spite of their growing business. This supports them to rapidly scale their businesses, create more fulfillment, and feel happier and healthier in their everyday lives. Amanda started her career working with some of the biggest brand names in New York City before moving out west and starting her own design studio. She spent years honing her process and found the same principles of intentional simplicity and refinement that she used in her branding work can also help creatives design a beautiful, balanced life and a successful, thriving business. Today, she operates her coaching practice in the mountains outside Denver, Colorado. When she’s not supporting clients, she’s going for early morning trail runs, mid-day walks with her puppy, and Friday sushi dates with her man.
