Who Should Listen

• Moms who collapse at 5 PM but still have 47 tasks to do.
• Anyone who’s ever thought, “I love my kids, but why does ‘Please play Frisbee with me’ sound like “Please run a marathon with me”? (Spoiler: Your energy cycles are not broken—just misunderstood.)
• Women who’ve chugged coffee at 9AM, 12PM, and 3 PM… yet still feel like a zombie. (Hydration hacks incoming!)

What You Get In This Episode

1. Energy ≠ Time
   • Physical energy ≠ mental energy. Example: "I can’t throw a Frisbee right now, but I can play a game."
   • Hack: Front-load mentally taxing tasks when your brain is fresh (or after coffee kicks in).
2. Hydration is a Superpower
   • Just 2% dehydration slows brain function. Your emotional support water bottle isn’t optional—it’s survival gear.
3. The 8-Minute Energy Boost
   • Call a hype friend for 8 mins (Simon Sinek-approved!). Just get it off your chest!
4. “Touch Grass” Literally
   • Bare feet on grass = instant mood boost. Yes, even if your neighbor side-eyes you.
5. Breathing for Energy
   • Inhale 80%, pause, inhale 20%, exhale = calm. Reverse it = energy. Check out Yoga With Tim.
