Why is it easier to expense a laptop than it is to take a damn break?


In this deeply honest and hilariously insightful episode, your favorite forensic CPA-turned-soul-philosopher takes a detour from debits and dives headfirst into healing. After 45 days without coffee, Katrina (and her soulful alter ego, January) unpack what happens when your nervous system finally feels safe enough to rest—and what it really means to reconcile your emotional overhead.


From the boardroom to the bathroom mirror, this episode explores what it looks like to budget for a breakdown, ask yourself “Am I a write-off yet?”, and discover that maybe the most important ROI isn’t return on investment—it’s return on identity.


💥 Whether you’re burned out, bossed around, or just balancing your own balance sheet of joy vs. stress, this one’s for you.



💡 Key Takeaways


➡️ Why burnout isn’t billable, but you feel the cost anyway

➡️ How to reprogram your nervous system post-stress

➡️ “Put your human on the charger”—what that really means

➡️ Why emotional healing belongs on your financial to-do list

➡️ Rediscovering joy in ordinary things (like driving and breathing)

➡️ The two voices in your head—and the fight for self-kindness



🎧 Quote of the Day:

“You can’t amortize heartbreak, but you can stop treating joy like a luxury.”
