For Wade, coffee and alone time is a crucial component of her A.M. routine — "especially if you have kids," she says. "I've gone through coffee times in my life and tea times in my life; lately, I don't know if it's because I'm writing, but I'm in a real coffee time. So I've been trying some different ones." More specifically, she's been cycling through a few favourites like the La Colombe Coffee Medium Roast ($14), as well as Brooklyn Roasting.
Pro Tip: Wade recommends carving out an allotted amount of time each morning to dedicate to yourself. What you do, then, is up to you: put on relaxing music, pour yourself a cup of coffee, journal. "Just having 10 to 20 minutes every morning in your own energy with something warm and cosy — it's a recipe for calm," she says. "I don't look online or open emails. I just enjoy being in my own thoughts. There's so much in the world that can make you feel stressed and anxious throughout the day that to claim your time in the morning is so helpful."
