Why didn’t anyone warn us that adulthood = permanent exhaustion? They hyped up the “freedom” part but left out the nonstop responsibilities, unpaid Uber shifts for our kids, and the fact that rest is basically a myth.

In this episode of Almost Grown-Up, we’re tackling the biggest scam of all: why we’re always so damn tired.

• The nonstop mental tabs running in our heads (Why can’t I remember what I walked into the kitchen for?)
• The chaos of driving kids everywhere like a full-time chauffeur (but with zero pay and constant attitude).
• Why the universe personally ruins every break we try to take (no, you’re not imagining it).
• Plus, I ask my 10-year-old son what he’s most excited about in adulthood… and then completely shatter his expectations with reality.
• 
  

If you’ve ever been too exhausted to function, but still had to function anyway, this episode is for you.
