5 Ways to Manage Your Energy Like a Pro (Even When You Feel Like a Mom-bie)
Manage episode 475781585 series 3375006
Between snack emergencies and the ‘second shift’ of mom life, your energy is constantly on E. This week, TULA Life Balanced’s Debra Doliner shares science-backed hacks to recharge—because literally ‘touching grass’ and 8-minute friend calls might just save your sanity.

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
- 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).
- Hydration is a Superpower
- Just 2% dehydration slows brain function. Your emotional support water bottle isn’t optional—it’s survival gear.
- The 8-Minute Energy Boost
- Call a hype friend for 8 mins (Simon Sinek-approved!). Just get it off your chest!
- “Touch Grass” Literally
- Bare feet on grass = instant mood boost. Yes, even if your neighbor side-eyes you.
- Breathing for Energy
- Inhale 80%, pause, inhale 20%, exhale = calm. Reverse it = energy. Check out Yoga With Tim.
