Smash the Crash

039- Summer Energy Series: Midlife Survival Mode- Snacks, Sips, & Sanity

Feeling crispy around the edges from the heat, chaos, and endless to-do lists? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken.

In this Summer Energy Series episode of Smash the Crash, Melissa shares her go-to Midlife Survival Checklist for the weeks when it’s 100 degrees, your brain is fried, and your energy is running on caffeine and chaos.

You’ll learn:

  • Why taking five (literally!) is the reset your nervous system needs
  • How hydration and electrolytes can keep you from a 3pm crash
  • The best grab-and-go high-protein snacks to fuel your day (spoiler: cheese sticks aren’t just for kids!)
  • Simple tips to make smart snacking actually happen during busy summer days

Plus: how skipping meals doesn’t just leave you hangry—it messes with your mood, focus, and decision-making.

This is your permission slip to stop running on fumes.
Take the break. Eat the snack. Drink the water. Repeat.

🟣 Tag @itsmelissahinman with your updated snack stash and let’s normalize fueling midlife with more intention (and less stress).
