Moms & Midday Meals: A Must
If you tend to skip lunch, grab coffee or a bar instead of a meal, or suddenly realize you’re starving hours after you should’ve eaten… this episode is for you.
As mothers, we put so much care and attention into what our kids eat—carefully packing their lunches, thinking through their snacks, making sure they have balanced meals. But what about us? Why do we so often neglect our own nourishment while prioritizing theirs?
In this episode, we’re diving into why lunch is the most essential meal of the day for moms—not just for energy and nutrition, but for our overall well-being. We’ll explore:
✅ Circadian biology and why midday is the optimal time for digestion and energy.
✅ The disconnect between how much we focus on kids’ meals vs. our own—and what that means.
✅ How skipping lunch leads to blood sugar crashes, exhaustion, and low patience by dinnertime.
✅ Simple, realistic ways to make lunch non-negotiable—without adding more to your plate.
✅ The powerful message we send our kids when they see us caring for ourselves too.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a new perspective on why your lunch matters—and how prioritizing it can transform the way you feel (and the way your whole family experiences meals).
Tune in now and start making your own nourishment just as important as theirs.
