Burnout, Breakdown & the Hot Mess Express: Life Management with Patrice Bonfiglio

What do locked knees, 100-pound dogs, and volunteer cleaning squads have in common? Welcome to the wild world of burnout with Patrice Bonfiglio—Wall Street powerhouse, podcast host, and burnout truth-teller. As President of Sarissa Capital Management and founder of Bonfiglio Media, Patrice brings both boardroom fire and deeply personal insight to the table. She’s the voice behind The Burnout Club, where high-achievers get real about identity, exhaustion, and reinvention—and on this episode, she’s teaming up with Marley to spill it all.

From corporate pressure cookers to postpartum chaos, they’re unpacking the hidden costs of keeping it all together. Bonus: You’ll never look at time off—or pottery class—the same way again.

Inside the Episode:

• Burnout ≠ just work: Patrice explains why your inbox isn’t the only thing draining you—it might just be that group text or toddler tantrum too.
• Accountability hacks that actually work: Why starting a burnout podcast became Patrice’s own recovery plan.
• The vacation myth: The truth bomb about why “rest” doesn’t fix a broken system (and might just make you snap).
• When burnout gets physical: Patrice’s body literally gave out—while she was supposed to be “relaxing.”
• The rise of the Hot Mess Express: A volunteer burnout brigade that shows up—and yes, they’ll clean your house.

✨ Whether you’re overwhelmed, over it, or just overdue for a hard reset, this episode is your unfiltered permission slip to ditch what drains you and make space for what lights you up. Hit play, grab your journal, and maybe cut one thing off your calendar. Stat.
