Burnt Out Perfectionist

✨ This week on Burnt Out Perfectionist...

Ever feel like every scroll is screaming at you to fix your life — but you're too tired to care? Yeah, same. This episode is a deep dive into self-help overwhelm, ADHD loops, trying to change (again), and why burnout turns everything into one giant to-do list.

🎧 What we're unpacking:

• The pressure to constantly improve yourself
• Falling back into routines we swore we’d quit
• The guilt of resting (and doing nothing “productive”)
• Random tangents, sibling rants & a surprising Oprah moment

💬 Sound off in the comments: What’s a self-help thing you tried that made you feel worse?

Remember CD samplers at HMV? Mall popcorn with an Icy? Or the heartbreak of watching your favorite froyo place disappear? In this episode, we’re taking a deep-dive into the delicious, weird, and wildly specific nostalgia of growing up in the 90s and early 2000s. From crushed lime soda to missing mashed potatoes on menus, we explore what made our childhoods taste and feel different—plus how today’s food culture is both better and somehow worse. If you’ve ever mourned a discontinued snack or wondered why kid outfits used to come with a matching scrunchie, this one’s for you.

We can’t stick to a routine for more than a week—but give us a fresh planner and we’ll build a cult around it. In this episode, we unpack the dopamine hit of new systems, the ADHD struggle to follow through, and the guilt spiral that follows. Join us for unhinged routines, productivity shame, and the dream that maybe this time we’ll keep it together.

This week, we spiral—in style. From binging “The Rookie” and dragging “We Were Liars,” to the rising cost of highlights (spoiler: it’s $650?!), we’re questioning what adulthood even is. Join us as we roast bad writing, nostalgic TV, and the myth that becoming an adult makes anything easier.

We also talk about post-pandemic burnout, budgeting for fun, and why the best shows came out between 2000–2014. If you’ve ever screamed “WHO APPROVED THIS SCRIPT?!” at your screen or silently judged a $500 haircut, this one’s for you.

Summer should feel like a break, but for ADHD brains, it's more like a group chat that never ends. This week, we're diving into the chaos of summer invites, BBQ burnout, RSVP dread, group chat overload, and the sacred act of pre-eating before a potluck.

We’re talking birthday party politics, adult crafts (yes, please), and why 9 PM invites feel personally offensive. Oh, and don't worry — we also talk about journaling, new pens, and surviving a uterus that’s out for blood.

🔥 If your summer calendar feels more exhausting than exciting, this one's for you.

Halfway through the year and… where are we at with those vision boards? In this mid-year recap, Sara and Eve revisit their 2024 goals—from the big dreams they’re actually making happen to the sticky notes still sitting untouched. They get real about motivation, shifting priorities, ADHD energy bursts, and the goals that quietly dropped off the radar (without shame).

This episode is part celebration, part reality check—and full of laughter, relatable chaos, and sisterly honesty. If you’re looking for permission to pivot, reflect, or recommit—this one’s for you.

Suddenly it’s 34°C, your deck box is full of spiders, the sunscreen turned you into a traffic cone, and you’re in charge of a school event with 80 missing volunteers. We weren’t ready.

This week, Sara and Eve rant (lovingly) about the chaos of seasonal change, sunscreen fails, ADHD-friendly event planning, and why summer feels like a full-time job. Plus: hammock wins, MGK hot takes, and a PSA to Australian Gold.

This week, summer rolled in like a heatwave with no warning—literally. We’re talking surprise sunburns, hammock naps, volunteer burnout, and how seasonal shifts mess with your whole routine. Whether you’re north or south of the border, the vibes are the same: sweaty, tired, and kind of over it. Plus, we roast tinted sunscreen, prep for end-of-school chaos, and question why adulting comes with no weather guide.

What happens after you spiral? In Part 2 of our two-part episode, we’re talking about what comes next — after the panic, pivots, and plan-B meltdowns.

This week we get into:

• What burnout actually feels like when you’re in it (not just the cute checklist)
• Redefining “stability” when everything safe turned out soul-sucking
• Money regrets, financial reality checks, and not wanting to go back to school again
• Why healing looks a lot like messiness and survival mode
• And how we’re trying to move forward… even if we’re still spiraling

Whether you’re rebuilding, burnt out, or just realizing your “safe job” wasn’t safe for your sanity — you’re not alone.

🎧 This isn’t a TED Talk. It’s two sisters in survival mode, finding clarity in the chaos (and laughing when we can).

In Part 1, we spiraled about the “safe” path — student loans, pandemic pivots, and why your 5-year plan probably belongs in the recycling bin.

In Part 2, we’re asking: what now?

This week, we dive into:

• How burnout actually shows up (hello, emotional flatline)
• Why stability and survival mode aren’t the same thing
• The messy truth about trying to restart — when you’re still exhausted
• Financial “fun” like sunk costs, career switching fears, and the panic of starting over
• That awkward in-between where healing and chaos coexist

We’re not handing out TED Talk advice — just real talk from two burnt-out sisters trying to make sense of it all.

If you’re in your “I don’t want my old life back, but I don’t know what the new one is” era… same.
