In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common patterns I see in driven, high-achieving women: powering through lunch, then crashing mid-afternoon and feeling frustrated with themselves for it.

If you’ve ever skipped a proper meal because you were “too busy,” grabbed convenience snacks later in the day, and then felt guilty or out of control, this episode is for you.

We explore why this isn’t a discipline or motivation issue, but a physiological and nervous system response to stress. I explain what’s actually happening in your body when you miss meals, why afternoon cravings show up, and how guilt around food can make digestion and energy even worse.

If this episode resonated, and you’re ready for deeper support around energy, digestion and stress. apply to work with me here:
