I Replaced Hustle Habits with This Chic Feminine Morning Stack (and Somehow Attract More… of Everything)
Share

9 years ago, I swapped my 6 a.m. panic spirals for a slow stretch in a silk slip, a candle I only light for morning coffee, and a few drops of face oil that smells like vacation on the Amalfi coast.

And I’m not gonna lie .. I won’t interact with the world at all until I’ve journaled a few lines and aligned my energy for the day. Extra? Maybe. But it makes me the girl who lives inside her pinterest board reality.

It’s my chic morning stack. Not a to-do list, more like a to-be ritual, and it changed so much of my life for the better.


I noticed something so wild when I started doing this.. podcast downloads doubling while I was mid-oceanfront yoga here in miami .. a flood of dream opportunities without me chasing after them. I haven’t posted in weeks (without guilt, that’s key), and yet… more pours in. More everything. All because I stopped micromanaging outcomes, and started fine-tuning my frequency in the present moment instead. That’s truly it. like one of those old radios with a gold dial .. there’s a specific spot, and when you get it... life just pours in.

As Anaïs Nin once wrote,

“My life is slowed down by moments of beauty.”

So I wanted to share what’s actually in my stack♡

  • The fragrance – My morning signature. Feminine, warm, a little mysterious.

  • The silk slip – Sensuality is how I remind my nervous system she’s adored

  • The Candle – I only light it when I’m sipping matcha or espresso. Soft, smoky, almost nostalgic. One inhale and I’m transported somewhere cozy

  • The face oil – (Non-negotiable) and smells like an Italian honeymoon.

  • The journal – Always linen-bound pen-to-paper magic

  • The playlist – Sade, French café energy

  • The coffeepot– I just sit with myself and a hot morning coffee for 10 minutes and remember who I am. Think of mornings like a private retreat

    Then sometimes, I’ll read a few lines of Arabic poetry. Or the Wall Street Journal. Something to to stretch the contours of my world without trying to “fix” anything. And, limited to no self-help. Emotional energy is more magnetic than intellectual mastery. Of course, self-help has its place, but too much of it keeps you in the mind and unconsciously generates a list of things you need to fix.


    Whereas beauty, art, and emotionally evocative language pull you into a higher field where your desires start to orbit you, effortlessly. In ancient Egyptian mystery schools, they taught that most people operate in a mechanical state: lost in the mind, asleep in repetition. But to awaken is to feel deeply without distraction, to sense the nuance of beauty without needing to label or solve it.


    It’s the depth of feeling that shapes your system for receiving. The more emotionally open you are, the more light (or manifestation) can pour in. So, if you’re wondering, this is why I limit self-help.


    It keeps you cycling through fixing and presence. But I’ve personally found that poetry and perfume... these stretch your soul into a new shape, and feel much more pleasurable. If it’s one thing I’ve truly learned throughout this Journey it’s that energy doesn’t respond to what you know. It responds to who you’ve become through the beauty you’ve allowed yourself to feel.

    These soft, luxurious anchors replaced my cortisol-fueled content calendar and every algorithm hack they said would “work.” Now, my aura works harder than I ever will, and it’s infinitely prettier. You don’t need to monetize your mornings but I highly recommend ritualizing them.

    That’s the secret.


They told me the only way to have more was to show up more, surrender privacy, and work on the weekends. AS IF. I’d rather spend my days at a secret beach club after detoxing in the eucalyptus sauna at my gym, and do what brings me joy when the feeling arises naturally. (You know, like a woman in her receptive essence.)

You’re not wrong to sense that “too feminine” was never your problem or a problem to begin with.

It was the conditioning that told you it must be overridden or else. The feminine edge is being. And when it’s paired with nervous system stability it bends reality.

Here are the 3 predominant beliefs I installed that attracts more by doing less 💌
