Come along for the whole thing — 7am to 10pm, exactly as it happens.
People ask what a day in my life actually looks like, and I always hesitate, because I think they're picturing something more glamorous than the truth. So a little context first: I'm a mom of two little boys, the solo founder of OWL (with a small but mighty team behind me), and a certified health coach. Which means I think about wellness and rituals all day long — and I live the very real, very un-glamorous version of trying to fit them into a full life.
So instead of telling you what a "balanced" day looks like, I'll just take you through a real one. Press play. The phrase I keep coming back to is we are our rituals — they can be small, but consistency is the whole game. It's the foundation of everything we teach in The OWL Method. Here we go.
7:00 AM
The house’s quiet is over — the boys are down for breakfast. It’s True Story sausages and a lot of fruit this week (I get on a kick until they’re sick of it, then switch). One of my boys is allergic to eggs, so breakfast is always a little creative around here. They eat and play; I steal a few minutes with the news.
7:30 AM
Now the morning stack begins. I pack their lunches — simple, nothing fancy — and make my own milk in the Beast blender, two minutes flat. And while I move around the kitchen, I sip a warm mug of OWL Bone Broth. It’s the most grounding way I’ve found to start the day: warm, nourishing, quietly doing its work on my gut before anything else is asked of me. Then eye patches and a simple skincare routine, because I shower at night and keep mornings easy.
8:00 AM
The boys go get themselves ready, and this is my little pocket: I eat their leftovers standing at the counter and make coffee in my Bruvi, in a mug I genuinely love. While it brews, I sneak in a few squats and lunges. Nobody’s watching, it takes thirty seconds, and it counts. That right there is The OWL Method in miniature — movement folded into a moment you’re already having.
9:00 AM
Drop-off. And then, some mornings, the best fifteen minutes of my day: a silent, no-music drive home. No podcast, no calls — just quiet, a moving meditation to reset before work begins.
9:30 AM
Computer time. One unexpected gift of being on the East Coast now is how slow my mornings are, because I’m ahead of my Pacific-time team. It’s not until noon my time that things really pick up, so I clear my inbox before their day even starts and feel a full step ahead all day.
12:00 PM
Outside for a minute to water my plants, then lunch — leftovers on a salad or wrapped in a spring roll wrapper, nothing that wrecks the kitchen. While I’m in there, I pull a protein and make a plan for dinner so future-me isn’t scrambling at pickup.
2:30 PM
The afternoon dip hits. Instead of reaching for a second coffee, I’ll warm up another mug of OWL broth or make a matcha — my honest, jittery-free reset. It’s a small swap, but it’s the kind of consistent choice that adds up.
The shape of my afternoons
How I actually get things done: every day has a job. Monday is planning and content, Tuesday is calls, Wednesday stays open for whatever inspires me, Thursday is content creation, and Friday is wrapping up. That structure is its own quiet ritual — the backbone of my week.
4:00 PM
I pick the boys up around 4 — extra time I’m soaking up before Levi starts kindergarten and it gets earlier. Sometimes it’s the beach or a playground and a snack, burning off the last of their energy. Then home, where they chill while I cook.
5:30 PM
Dinner, most nights, is rice cooked in broth with a protein and a veg — I talked about this on Substack last week and it’s genuinely our default. I cook the rice right in OWL bone broth in my Our Place Dream Cooker, crisp the protein and veg in the Our Place air fryer, and lean on my Made In cookware for the rest (the best, and worth the price). One pot, real nourishment, almost no cleanup. Cooking the rice in broth is the easiest way I know to sneak real gut support into a meal my kids already love.
7:00–8:00 PM
The same comforting loop every night: showers, a little play, then upstairs to read books before bed. The boys are down between 7 and 8.
10:00 PM
Then the house goes quiet and the evening is mine — nighttime skincare, a stretch, a face mask, a show, a book, a little meditation, some scrolling. My genuinely-off wind-down (even if a little work sneaks back in). Lights out around 10.
We are our rituals
That’s the whole day. Not a highlight reel — a rhythm. And if there’s one thing I’d want you to take from it, it’s this: we are our rituals, and they don’t have to be big to matter.
Here’s what I’ve learned after years of trying to do it all: the only thing that ever makes a real dent is something you do consistently, over time. Not the perfect protocol you keep for four days and abandon. Not the routine that looks impressive on someone else. Something small enough that you’ll actually keep doing it.
So I’ve gotten a little ruthless about it — I pick the rituals I genuinely love, and I ignore everything else. I choose things I can realistically manage and goals I can actually achieve, because a small habit I keep will always beat a big one I quit. A warm mug of broth. Homemade milk. Squats by the coffee. Quiet in the car. Rice in broth. None of it is picture-perfect, and I don’t have the time to make it picture-perfect — and that’s exactly the point.
And it looks completely different now than it did before babies and before building this company. It’s supposed to. Your rituals should fit the life you’re actually living — not the one you had five years ago, and not the one someone else is posting about. Mine have gotten simpler, smaller, and more forgiving, and somehow they’ve made more of a difference than the elaborate versions ever did.
That’s the whole idea behind The OWL Method — building small, doable rituals you love, one at a time, until they’re simply who you are.
If you’ve been wanting to build a rhythm like this, here’s what you’ll walk away with:
- Rituals that actually stick. The real difference between habits that last and ones that fizzle by Friday — and how to design yours for consistency, not perfection.
- A filter for what matters. A simple way to choose the few rituals worth your time and confidently ignore everything else.
- Everyday gut support. How to weave broth, real food, and simple nutrition into an already-full day — no complete overhaul required.
- Goals sized for your real life. Right-fit for the season you’re actually in, whether that’s new babies, a new business, or both at once.
- Progress over perfect. The mindset that keeps you going
