Structure Precedes Evolution with Cate Stillman
"Morning routines are the sacred rituals that set the tone for our entire day. By embracing mindful practices such as meditation, movement, and nourishing rituals, we cultivate a foundation of peace, clarity, and vitality that empowers us to thrive in every moment." - Unknown
Cate Stillman starts the conversation by acknowledging that within our family we often don’t have the tools and structure to evolve. Cate dives into values and how impactful it is to codify our values — when you have set values then you have the structure. (Take action and figure out your family values.)
Cate talks about taking responsibility of our health, and shares the tool of family meetings. She shares how to use this idea of values and meetings to really empower our kids and live the life we want to create. Kate goes into a 101 overview of Ayurveda and yoga, and explains how we can use both to better understand the life we want to live. Cate talks about how we are disempowering our next generation (this is very real!), and she gives a very clear picture how we can empower our kids. Everything Cate shares is great for thriving, and if listeners take action, lifestyles will change!

Morning Routine: Start your day with a nourishing morning routine that sets the tone for overall well-being.

Movement Breaks: Prioritize movement throughout your day by incorporating short movement breaks into your routine. Whether it’s taking a brisk walk, doing a few minutes of stretching or yoga, or simply dancing to your favorite song, finding opportunities to move your body regularly can increase energy levels, improve circulation, and support overall physical and mental health. By making movement a priority, you can experience the benefits of increased flexibility, strength, and vitality in your daily life.
