In this uplifting and encouraging episode, MaryRuth sits down with her best friend Daphne— health coach and founder of Doing Well —to unpack real-life routines for busy parents, professionals, and anyone in between. They dig into the “No Phone Zone,” the mindset of “mood follows action,” writing best-case scenarios to soothe anxiety, and tiny daily anchors that compound into major change. You’ll also hear a nervy-system-friendly evening flow (yes, bath before dinner!) and why advanced practitioners don’t chase perfection—they return to the routine.
