Ever wondered why airplane food tastes... off?
✈️ It’s not the airline — it’s your senses that go on airplane mode.

In this bite-sized episode, we explore:
🍩 Why sweet and salty flavors fade mid-air
🧂 How airlines secretly tweak recipes to trick your taste buds
🍄 Why umami is the real MVP at cruising altitude

Whether you're a curious foodie or a frequent flyer, this one’s for you.
Listen now and never see airplane food the same way again.

In this episode of The Thoughtful Tangent, we continue our “Know Yourself Better” series by exploring something that affects all of us: how we respond to stress.

Beyond the familiar “fight or flight,” we dive into the four primary stress responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—and how they subtly shape our thoughts, relationships, and daily choices.

Learn how to recognize your unique pattern, how stress shows up in your body, and how awareness can gently shift the way you show up in personal and professional spaces.

You’ll hear personal reflections, practical tools, and grounding questions to support your emotional wellbeing.

👉 Whether you’re prone to over-explaining in emails, going silent in meetings, or saying yes when you mean no—this episode offers insight and compassion.

Awareness creates choice. Let’s reclaim it together.

In this episode of The Thoughtful Tangent, we explore a quieter—but powerful—part of who you are:

your social energy.

Do you recharge in solitude or come alive in a crowd? Or maybe you’re somewhere in between?

You’ll reflect on how you gain and spend energy, learn what it really means to be introverted, extroverted, or ambiverted, and walk away with practical ways to honor your natural rhythm—in work, relationships, and daily life.

Plus, there’s a simple challenge to help you track your energy this week and a sneak peek into next week’s topic: how you respond to stress.

This episode is part of the Know Yourself Better series—a journey toward self-awareness, self-compassion, and showing up more fully in your life.
