In today’s episode of the Default to Yes™ Podcast, we’re looking at the real purpose of morning routines, evening reviews, and journaling—and why these practices are not about “me time” or aesthetic ritual.
They are the foundation of what I call The Prefrontal Protocol: a daily rhythm that trains your brain to operate from clarity, calling, and intention rather than reactivity or overwhelm. These simple practices aren’t luxuries—they’re the training ground for capacity, resilience, and the ability to show up as the woman you want to be.
We explore the difference between capability and capacity, and why you may be fully capable of living your purpose but still lacking the capacity to sustain it. The good news? Capacity is grown. Cultivated. Built daily—and your routines are where it begins.
You’ll learn how morning regulation sets your mind “on things above” (Colossians 3:2), how evening reflection integrates insight and releases emotional residue, and how journaling helps you seek first the Kingdom by aligning your thoughts, identity, and energy with what matters most (Matthew 6:33).
If you're ready to move out of survival mode and into intentional, spirit-led, neuroscience-backed living, this episode will give you a framework to begin today.
