012 Ever make an evening routine that should work — and then watch it fall apart anyway?

In this episode, Candace shares a very honest (and slightly hilarious) story about why her well-intentioned nighttime routines never stuck — from late-night runs to doom scrolling in the bathroom — and why that doesn’t mean you’re lazy or inconsistent.

You’ll learn:

• Why most evening routines fail busy brains
• How timing and sequencing matter more than discipline
• Why journaling, meditation, or exercise can backfire at night
• What to ask yourself when a routine doesn’t work
• How to stop quitting on yourself and start building routines that actually fit

Plus, Candace introduces The Order Matters Do-Over — a simple mindset shift that helps you understand what your brain needs before it can shut down.

If evenings are where everything unravels, this episode is for you.
