Around 3PM, a lot of smart, capable women hit a wall they don’t talk about!
Focus drops.
Patience disappears.
Sugar and coffee suddenly feel non-negotiable.
Most people assume this means they’re tired, lazy, or bad at managing their day.
It usually means their blood sugar dipped and cortisol stepped in to compensate.
That hormone handoff feels awful:
foggy, wired-but-tired, shaky, and mentally checked out.
Your body isn’t asking you to “try harder.”
It’s asking for support earlier in the day.
One simple shift that helps many women:
eat a real midday anchor before the crash - protein, fiber, and healthy fat.
Not a bar. Not coffee. Actual food.
When you work with your hormones instead of fighting them, energy becomes steadier - not perfect, but predictable.
If this sounds like your afternoons, I’m teaching a free Zoominar on Friday, Jan 16 at 10AM ET, where I break down:
• why the 3PM crash happens
• how stress hormones hijack energy
• how to stabilize them without restriction

You’re not broken.
You’re responding exactly as a human nervous system does.
