Are you frazzled getting out the door each morning? Do you start your day by gulping down a cup of joe? Do you reach for your phone first thing and end up in a mindless scroll? Adding 5 minutes of mindset work in the morning can change your life and alleviate some of the chaotic and frenzied energy. Maria sits down with Katie Wood -- mom of four, former teacher, motivational speaker and author -- who has not only transformed her own life, but the lives of thousands with a simple morning routine rooted in gratitude. Katie shares her personal story of growth and change that started after her daughter was diagnosed with an illness that put her into a dark place. In an effort to help herself navigate around a place of worry and despair she became more intentional by starting her day by celebrating the "positives" in her life. She also celebrated the things she was thankful for, no matter how small. This practice ended up having big life changing effects for her and her entire family. Katie's book A Simple Seed: of Growth, Gratitude & Giggles: 5-minute morning journal for kids is a journey to help kids (big & small) tap into manifestations that can help us focus on all the good things in your life in an easy and approachable way. Her book is over 200 schools nationwide that are helping create a generation of thoughtful, kind and generous kids.
