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
