Kari Laskowski x Kim Barman x Vasavi Kumar: Creating a Morning Routine and The Relief of Joining a Community

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why can’t I do the little things I need to be doing to take care of myself?” 

Well, my guests today on The Being Human podcast are two amazing women in my membership community who took part in my 14-Day Morning Reboot Challenge to tackle just that. I’m so excited to introduce to you Kari Laskowski and Kim Barman as we talk all about how their personalized morning routines, the challenges they faced in and outside of this reboot (especially losing their normal routines during the pandemic), and how it has positively impacted them.

Both Kim and Kari are part of the MYOB community. Kari lives in Chicago with her husband and her two-year-old. When she's not chasing her toddler around the city, she's either cooking, watching a documentary, or, on a good day, writing.

Kim Barman joined the community because she’s starting her own business and found herself caught up in her head about it in a way that wasn't productive. Her anxiety may have been related to the chaos brought on by the seemingly never-ending pandemic, but she thought that sharing courage with other women doing big things with their lives could only help. It was a way of holding herself accountable. 

According to them they got what they wanted and much more with this community and 14-day challenge, and I have no doubt they’re going to go on to do great things. Let’s dive into everything they learned, loved, and had to let go of as they set up their morning routines and finally stuck to them.

Key moments to tune in for:

• [8:13] The simplicity of a morning routine, plus the obstacles and thoughts around this from Kari and Kim’s perspective
• [21:25] The sexy excuses, resistance and health issues that slow us down
• [30:24] The connection between new projects and the habits of a new routine, and the old habits that slowed these women down
• [40:51] If you’re thinking of starting a morning routine or joining the MYOB community but you’re resistant to take the plunge
• [47:30] The relief of being in a community and the comfort of others - especially when you’re isolated
