In this episode of This Is Why I’m Tired, I’m talking about swearing (obviously), burnout, and why so many of us treat rest like it’s something we have to earn.

From childhood rules of “no play until the work’s done” to adult hustle culture, we’ve somehow learned that rest is a reward instead of a requirement. And spoiler: that might be why we’re all exhausted.

I also introduce a new segment — Main Character Malfunction — because if we can’t laugh at our chaotic moments, what can we do?

If you’re blonde, burnt out, or barely resting… this one’s for you.
