Inspired by a chat with the most wholesome crew I’ve ever met (shoutout to the Walkie Talkies!), this episode explores why what you eat first can shape the rest of your day—not just physically, but psychologically.
Yes, I talk about breakfast. But this isn’t about “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” dogma. It’s about momentum, intention, and setting the tone for the day ahead—especially in silly season when routines go out the window.
Whether you’re over 40 trying to hang onto muscle, or just someone who wants to avoid falling face-first into the Celebrations box by 11am, this one’s for you.
