Feeling drained and foggy after work? You’re not alone. In part two of my series on avoiding the post-work crash, we’re digging into two of the most overlooked culprits behind your evening exhaustion: nutrition and hydration.

No, this isn’t a lecture on kale smoothies or Pinterest-perfect Bento boxes (who has time for that?). We’ll talk about how to keep your blood sugar stable, what kinds of snacks actually work (hint: it’s not fun-size candy bars), and why that afternoon slump might really just be dehydration in disguise. And of course, I’ll give you small, realistic swaps you can start today that will add up to major energy wins.

If you’re tired of dragging yourself home at night with nothing left for your family, friends, or yourself, this episode will show you how a few simple choices can change everything.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why eating every 3–4 hours keeps your energy steady
  • Snack and meal ideas you can actually use on busy days
  • How dehydration mimics fatigue (and how to fix it)
