Two longtime corporate America veterans introduce their podcast, “Getting Squirreled,” and explain it as the distracted, noisy-in-your-head feeling that comes from ADHD, menopause, anger, devices, and nonstop modern chaos. They vent about bad bosses, boring meetings, rules as “suggestions,” and how reels, daydreaming, and constant noise detach people from who they are. Along the way they joke about HR run-ins, coping with irritation, tiny-home communities, and true-crime shows, while repeatedly demonstrating how quickly their conversation goes off track. They share motivations for starting the show—burnout, trying something new, personal growth, bringing humor to serious topics, and helping people feel less alone—plus coping ideas like unplugging, getting outside, adrenaline hobbies, choosing the right people, and staying grounded through dogs.
