As the crisp air rolls in and the leaves begin to change, there’s something about fall that makes working from home feel a little more sacred. The flicker of a candle, a cozy playlist in the background, and a hot cup of tea in hand, it all becomes part of the rhythm.

My Favorite Fall Teas for Work-from-Home Focus
There’s something sacred about that afternoon pause, the moment I step away from the screen, breathe in the quiet, and let a warm mug wrap around my hands. Over the years, I’ve found a few go-to teas that have become part of that ritual, helping me reset my mind and spirit for the second half of the day.
- Minty blends like Pacific Coast Mint are refreshing and gentle, perfect for a mid-day moment of clarity.
- Comfort blends like Earl Grey Crème bring a cozy, familiar warmth that pairs beautifully with journaling or planning.
- Energy-supporting teas like Bright Eyed or my newest favorite, Peach Energy Tea, help me stay focused without the jitters.
- For evenings, I sometimes reach for a calming tea that helps me ease into rest when the day has been especially full.
These aren’t “magic solutions,” but they do support the kind of rhythm I want to live in slow, intentional, focused. You’ll find many of these through my favorite tea company, The Art of Tea, or through my wellness shop, where I get a few staple blends.
My Go-To Gluten-Free Snacks for Cozy Productivity
My Go-To Gluten-Free Snacks for Cozy Productivity
Afternoons used to be my slump zone. You know the feeling when focus dips and energy fades, and suddenly the to-do list looks twice as long? One shift that’s helped me steward my energy (and stay creative through those longer days) is snacking with intention. I don’t go overboard, just simple, nourishing things that keep my mind clear and my body fueled.
Here are a few of my favorites I reach for during a cozy work-from-home afternoon:
- Apples with peanut butter — the classic! Crisp, sweet, and energizing.
- Simple Mills almond flour crackers — crunchy, gluten-free, and great with hummus.
- Chomps beef sticks — easy protein I can keep at my desk.
- Veggies and hummus — I love prepping this ahead so it’s ready to grab between calls or writing sessions.
- Thrive Market snacks — I keep a small stash of gluten-free goodies from Thrive on hand, like their grain-free granola or Aloha bars (those are great for travel days too).
It’s less about being perfect and more about creating an environment that supports the kind of work and leadership I’m called to show up for. I’ve learned that when I honor my body’s needs in small ways, I show up better in every other area, especially in business.
I shop most of my favorite gluten-free snacks and pantry staples through Thrive Market. Living in a small town with Celiac Disease can make finding safe, nourishing options tough, but Thrive has been a total lifesaver. It’s been my go-to for everything from gluten-free granola to afternoon treats that don’t spike my blood sugar.

Why Afternoon Rhythms Matter
Whether you're creating content, coaching clients, managing Pinterest, or planning your next launch, your energy in the afternoon matters. That 2–4 pm window can either be a slump or a sacred reset.
For me, it looks like:
- Stepping away from screens for 5–10 minutes
- Making a cup of tea
- Journaling gratitude or following prompts
- Choosing a snack that fuels me instead of making me sleepy or sluggish
- Turning on instrumental music
These tiny shifts have made a big difference in how I finish my day.
Quick Tips: Fuel Your Focus Naturally
Small shifts that bring cozy clarity to your afternoons:
- Keep snacks prepped in glass jars or easy containers
- Set a recurring “tea & pause” break on your calendar
- Pair your tea time with 5 minutes of journaling or prayer
- Choose blends with natural energy (like Bright Eyed from The Art of Tea or Peach Energy from my wellness shop)
- Avoid sugary snacks that lead to a crash, focus on protein and healthy fats
