How do you stay energetic through long or back-to-back shows?

Caffeine helps, but it’s not the real answer. What truly keeps me going is the listener’s energy. When I get a great message or an unexpected laugh on air, it fuels me. That said, I won’t lie—some days are hard. I may be low on sleep, or dealing with personal stuff. On those days, I take mini breaks off-air, play instrumental tracks to breathe, or just shift to lighter content. Also, I listen to music for myself, not just for airplay. That reminds me why I started this job in the first place. Big Live encourages mental wellness for RJs, and that matters. If I’m not okay, I can’t uplift others. So I’ve learned to respect my limits, speak up when needed, and pace myself—because real energy comes from balance, not burnout.
