🎙️ Episode 57: Duels, Drama & Doing the Absolute Most

After 3 weeks off the grid, Sarah & Erika are BACK and somehow still alive, employed, and only mildly unhinged.

👉 Erika is in her self-care comeback era (lashes done, life pending 💅)

👉 Sarah is casually working 120-hour pay periods like burnout is a personality trait

👉 The photo booth business is picking up… so if anyone can clone us, now’s your moment

🎭 This Week: Badass Women of History

Julie d’Aubigny (La Maupin) — the 1700s icon who made chaos a full-time job:

  • Opera star by 17 🎶
  • Dueled men regularly… and WON ⚔️
  • Kissed a woman at a royal ball → fought 3 men → beat them all
  • Broke her girlfriend out of a convent (allegedly set it on fire, as one does)
  • Got paid ~$450K to leave a man alone and said “absolutely not”

Yes, this is a real person. Yes, her life was a fever dream.

We also get into burnout, emotional chaos, and that RUDE poem about giving your body more than getting flowers (you’ve been warned).
