🎙️ Episode 5: The 3 PM Crash — Why It Happens and How to Beat It
Do you hit that 3 PM wall where you’d give anything for a nap, another coffee, or something sweet to keep you going? You’re not alone — and it’s not just “being tired.” In this episode of Flourish Unfiltered: Ending Exhaustion for Working Moms, we’re unpacking the real reason behind the mid-afternoon crash and how to stop it before it starts.
Your body isn’t broken — it’s trying to tell you something. That daily crash is your blood sugar and stress rhythms out of sync. When you learn how to balance them, you’ll start feeling steady, focused, and in control all day long — no caffeine required.
✨ Here’s what we’ll cover:
What’s really happening during the 3 PM energy crash
How blood sugar dips and stress hormones create the perfect storm for exhaustion
Why your “healthy” snack might be making things worse
The best mid-afternoon reset for stable energy
How to naturally realign your stress rhythm so you feel calm, not wired
💡 Flourish Step: Swap your usual 3 PM snack (like coffee and a granola bar) for a simple combo of protein + carb — think Greek yogurt and berries, or turkey and apple slices. You’ll be amazed how steady your energy feels by dinner time.
If you’re tired of dragging through the afternoon and crashing before the evening even begins, this episode will help you reclaim your afternoons — and your sanity.
