Welcome to an Elevated Start, Every Day
We have a question for you: Are you in the driver’s seat of your own life, making each day a masterpiece and chasing after your wildest dreams? Or are you sitting in the passenger seat, just watching the scenery pass you by?
If you’re riding shotgun, you’re not alone. In fact, we were both there not that long ago. It’s so easy to get caught up in the chaos of modern life—endless work emails, negative news headlines, dating and relationship struggles, money worries, and the pull between putting organic veggies on your plate and meeting up with friends over mimosas at brunch. It can feel like you’re playing a daily game of whack-a-mole, reacting to the events of life versus cocreating them.
You may expend so much energy on this game that you go to extreme measures to cheer yourself up. (We certainly used to.) Whether it’s drugs, alcohol, codependent relationships, reality TV, or online shopping binges, distractions like these cause us to completely miss the blessings of the moment and keep us from actually enjoying and realizing what a freaking gift it is to wake up and be alive!
Sound familiar? Well, no matter where you are on your path, we’re here to show you what’s possible when you become a conscious creator of your own life in a bigger way, taking back control of the steering wheel and setting your GPS toward your destiny. To get back in the driver’s seat, you must have the energy, determination, courage, confidence, self-authority, and self-love to sustain you.
In our experience, the fastest and most effective way to do this is by adopting a consistent morning ritual—rising with the sun and doing a daily spiritual practice that lights you up, keeps your energetic vibration on point, and keeps your intuition clear, no matter what life throws at you. When you start your day by connecting deeply to yourself, your inner compass can direct you toward your highest path. You have the strength and energy to take care of yourself and others. You become a warrior for happiness and love, following the wild desires in the back of your mind and creating the internal source of positive energy that helps you take aligned action toward your goals.
Morning rituals guide you to tap into the deeper experience available beyond the five senses and the physical human world. We are all spiritual beings having a human experience, but sometimes we get that mixed up. So we are here to remind you of your deep connection to your soul—get ready to become BFFs with your spirit!
Meet Your Guides, Britt + Tara
We are so honored to connect and share these rituals with you, and we can’t wait to get to know each other through this work. We know all about the benefits of good morning intentions because we experience them every day—and we are excited for you to experience them as well!
We both started waking up to the power of a daily spiritual practice when we started shifting our lifestyle and eventually became certified Kundalini yoga instructors. In the years since, we’ve crafted super-powerful morning ritual formulas of our own—including practices from Kundalini yoga and meditation, manifestation techniques, self-care, and plant-based nutrition. They were so life-changing for us that we now have to share them with the world.


We credit this game-changing practice with empowering us to leave our corporate jobs, release addictions and other unhealthy patterns, and step into our power as spiritual leaders and founders of Elevate the Globe, our spiritual lifestyle brand with the mission to elevate all of humanity, one person at a time, through daily spiritual practices.
Thanks to the cla
