In this episode, Fabian cracks open the surprisingly common struggle of morning anxiety—the kind that grabs you before you’ve even gotten out of bed and makes the start of every day feel like a hurdle. Why does anxiety seem to strike hardest at sunrise? What’s going on in your brain and body during those first moments? And most importantly, what can you actually do about it? Through honest storytelling, real-life listener experiences, and plain-English science, Fabian explores why so many people wake up with dread and how you can learn to reclaim your mornings with practical tools and gentle humor. Whether you’re someone who dreads the alarm, lies awake with racing thoughts, or just feels like you’re always playing catch-up before the day has begun, you’ll find validation and hope in this deep-dive. Discover how to shift the morning narrative, use the science of cortisol to your advantage, and build a routine that gives you a fighting chance at a steady, grounded start. Plus, hear why compassion (and a little bit of laughter) might be your best weapon against those early-morning nerves, and learn how to create a morning that actually works for you—not against you.
