Your PTO Called; It Wants Custody
Send a text
Your alarm clock got you doing algebra before you even brush your teeth. That’s not ambition — that’s burnout wearing business casual.
In this episode, we unpack hustle culture, the 40-hour work week (yes, Henry Ford, we see you), and why productivity culture still runs your calendar like Wi-Fi is new. We talk real work-life balance — not the Instagram version — and how to use PTO as strategy, not apology. This is about protecting the operator. Because if you don’t schedule a mental health day, burnout will schedule one for you.
We keep it practical. A clean out-of-office message with just enough edge. A weekday reset that includes a Black-owned donut shop, a late brunch that tastes like freedom, sunlight on a park bench, and getting back home early like a responsible adult who still pays bills. There’s also a Clocked Out Collins — gin, lemon, honey, bubbles, rosemary — because slowing down should come with a garnish.
And no, I’m not explaining to your supervisor why you were eating shrimp and grits at 11:42 a.m. That’s between you, management, and God.
The system trades your time for money, then sells you self-care to recover from it. Break the loop. Protect your peace like it’s payroll.
Schedule your life — or someone else will.
