Why We Feel Wired, Tired, and Empty—and How to Refuel Right

In this episode, we explore the metaphor of human energy and emotional regulation through the lens of aviation fuel—what keeps us running clean vs. what makes us crash and burn.

• Why the wrong inputs (like sugar, doomscrolling, or people-pleasing) feel good briefly but exhaust us
• How to identify visual, auditory, and social junk fuel in your daily life
• What real, sustainable fuel looks like across body, mind, and relationships
• The emotional and physiological signs you’re misfueled
• A better blueprint for lasting vitality, clarity, and connection
• Plus: a metaphorical dashboard and why your internal engine deserves premium input
