Why We’re All So Overwhelmed, Stress vs. Burnout & What Actually Helps


Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed? Us too. In this episode, Keegan & Joel break down the difference between stress, overwhelm, and burnout and why so many of us are stuck in the messy middle right now. From constant notifications to comparison culture, cost of living stress to queer emotional labour, it’s no wonder life feels like too much.


We share our own stories of hitting breaking point, what actually helps us cope (and what definitely doesn’t), and why “just do yoga” isn’t the whole answer. Think practical tips, honest laughs, and a reminder that if you’re overwhelmed, you’re not broken—you’re just human.


✨ Highlights include:


Stress vs. overwhelm vs. burnout (and how to spot the difference)


Why modern life feels impossible sometimes


Coping strategies that actually work (and the BS ones we’ve tried)


The queer side of overwhelm—extra layers nobody talks about


🎧 Tune in for real talk, practical tools, and a little less FOMO.
