The Truth About “Getting Mornings Right” with Jennifer Dukes Lee

Join Alli’s Intern Program - https://alliworthington.com/interns 

 

Today I’m talking with my friend Jennifer Dukes Lee about her new book, How to Love Your Morning. Listen in—especially if you’re not a morning person. Don’t worry, this isn’t about becoming a 5 a.m. superhero.

 

We’re talking about real mornings—messy, sleepy, chaotic. The guilt, comparison, and pressure to get it right. I didn’t have a morning rhythm until 46, so if you feel behind, you’re not alone.

 

If you’ve scrolled past a perfect Bible-and-coffee photo and thought you’re doing it wrong, or decided mornings aren’t for you, this conversation is a deep exhale. Jennifer reframes mornings honestly and practically.
