Burnt Out Perfectionist
Burnt Out Perfectionist is a conversation-style podcast about everyday life, burnout, ADHD, mental health, and the pressure to have it all figured out — hosted by two sisters from different generations. Sara (millennial) and Eve (gen z) have a large age gap, very different life stages, and surprisingly similar struggles. Each episode feels like sitting in on a real, unfiltered sister conversation — honest, funny, validating, and sometimes a little warped. We’re not experts, therapists, or life coaches. We’re just two sisters talking about real life as it’s happening. We talk about ADHD and executive dysfunction, burnout and overwhelm, parenting chaos, emotional regulation, healthcare frustrations, perfectionism, pop culture, and the generational differences that show up when you’re raised years apart — without pretending there’s a perfect fix or a five-step solution. Some episodes are reflective. Some are chaotic. Some are just us laughing through the mess. All of them are rooted in lived experience, not advice culture. This podcast is for exhausted millennials, neurodivergent adults, gen z listeners navigating adulthood, parents trying to do their best, and anyone who wants honest conversations instead of productivity pressure. What you’ll find here: real conversations, not lectures lived experiences, not expert takes humor alongside hard topics permission to be imperfect zero pretending we have it all together If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure if you’re doing life “right” — you’re not alone. You don’t need to fix yourself to be here. New episodes every Monday at 6 AM PST. Stay as warped and twisted as ever.

Welcome to Season 4 🎉
We’re kicking off 2026 the only way we know how: with a pop culture bingo card, zero pressure, and a lot of strong opinions.
In this episode, sisters Sara and Eve make their totally unserious (but deeply passionate) predictions for 2026 — from rom-coms finally making a comeback, Dancing With the Stars wish lists, nostalgic media returns, and subscription fatigue… to bread machines, book merch, button-making, an...
this week’s episode is a short and sweet holiday check-in as we officially close out season 3 of burnt out perfectionist.
no full episode, no agenda — just us reflecting on the season, laughing about our favorite moments, rejecting resolutions (again), and sharing what’s coming in season 4 starting january 2026.
thank you for listening, sharing, messaging us, and showing up this year. we don’t take it lightly, even when we’re being u...
It’s our final episode of the year, and somehow… our pop culture bingo card actually hit.
From rom-com revivals and fashion throwbacks to unexpected celebrity moves and trends we joked about that came true, we’re breaking down what we predicted, what surprised us, and what completely missed the mark in 2025.
This episode is part recap, part reflection, and part “how did we get this right?” as we wrap up the year, share our survive-an...
We’re back with another festive mix of chaos, cozy vibes, and absolutely zero chill about the holidays. 🎄 This week, we’re diving into wrapping paper drama, Christmas spending pressure, wish list culture, and why everyone seems either extra nice… or deeply unhinged during December.
From over-the-top gift hauls to thrifted Christmas budgets to Hallmark movies with fourteen unnecessary plot lines — we’re spiraling (lovingly) through ...
This week, we somehow spend 11 minutes talking about Wicked before even touching the topic — but yes, there are spoilers. After that, we deep-dive into change: the tiny ADHD-approved refreshes (new phone wallpaper), the medium-impact stuff (cutting dairy before it cuts you), and the full-blown life-altering chaos (moves, breakups, death, existential spirals). It’s cozy, unhinged, and aggressively on-brand. stay warped and twisted a...
Part 2 is HERE because apparently we still don’t have time for ANY of this. Parenting trends, internet culture, influencer weirdness, holiday chaos — it’s all unhinged and we’re ranting about every last bit of it.
Today we spiral through: ✨ The TV show literally called Children Ruin Everything 💬 The gentle parenting debate (and the wild assumptions that come with it)
🚫 “No contact culture” being used completely wrong
📱 Parents ov...
This week, we’re diving into the things we absolutely do not have the time, energy, or emotional bandwidth for — from over-the-top Christmas aesthetics to celebrity drama that somehow still ends up on our For You Pages.
In true Burnt Out Perfectionist fashion, we bounce between the funny, the petty, and the unexpectedly deep as we unpack: 🎄 Christmas trends that make zero sense 📸 The pressure to have an “aesthetic holiday” ✨ Celeb...
Everyone’s got coping mechanisms — some healthy, some questionable, some just pure chaos. This week, Sara and Eve talk about how ADHD brains try (and fail) to manage stress, emotion, and burnout. From cleaning frenzies to emotional snack binges, they get honest about what works, what doesn’t, and why perfection isn’t the goal.
Feeling socially drained after a “fun” weekend? You’re not alone. In this episode, Sara and Eve unpack the emotional crash that follows plans, parties, and parent events — the infamous social hangover. From holiday chaos to small talk anxiety and ADHD overstimulation, they explore why connection can still feel exhausting (and hilarious). Grab your coffee, curl up, and let’s normalize needing a full-day recovery from being social.
ADHD brains + meal planning = chaos.
In this week’s episode, sisters Sara and Eve test whether freezer meals can actually solve their daily “What’s for dinner?” crisis. From recipe fails to budget hacks and some chaotic laughter in between, they share what worked, what didn’t, and why shredded cheese is now a hill they’ll die on.
They also chat about: 🍂 Fall energy shifts and ADHD fatigue 🎂 Sara’s upcoming birthday (39!) 🎬 Wicked,...
This week’s episode is equal parts birthday celebration and survival mode. It’s Sara’s 39th birthday 🎉, everyone’s sick, Eve’s bleeding for her art (literally), and somehow we end up deep in a discussion about ADHD focus modes, work-from-home chaos, and the mysterious pain that comes with every “ergonomic” office chair.
If you’ve ever balanced adulthood, cold season, and ADHD all at once — this one’s for you.

Why do we keep rewatching the same comfort shows instead of starting something new? This week, Sara and Eve dive into ADHD nostalgia — the cozy chaos of rewatching Gilmore Girls, Reba, Supernatural, and every other show that raised us.
From dopamine hits to ADHD decision paralysis, we unpack why the same old episodes feel better than keeping up with new ones. Expect hot takes, childhood throwbacks, and plenty of sisterly banter alon...
Life with ADHD means even the smallest rewards can feel like survival tools. In this week’s episode of Burnt Out Perfectionist, Sara and Eve unpack the psychology of “treat yourself” — from reward snacks and midnight marshmallows to new hoodies, makeup palettes, and all the little indulgences that keep us moving.
We’re diving into:
- Why ADHD brains thrive on mini rewards
- The fine line between snacks, survival fuel, and motivation h...
ADHD sisters Sara & Eve break down the pressure of routines — from makeup hacks and skincare fails to decluttering chaos and the myth of being “low-maintenance.” If you’ve ever bought a travel-size serum, forgot it existed, or kept expired lipstick for years, you’ll feel right at home. Honest, funny, and very ADHD.
In part two of our Can We Be Frank? mini-series, Sara gets frankly honest about the bigger, messier side of ADHD chaos. From overpriced “artisan” everything and copycat book covers to childhood movie heartbreak (Bridge to Terabithia, My Girl, If) and parasocial fandom drama, this episode dives into the spicier, more controversial hot takes. It’s raw, relatable, and still full of unfiltered humor.
✨ New episodes every Monday @ 6AM PS...
This week we’re getting frank about it all — socks, jeans, coffee, underwear, and the messy rules of adulting no one ever told us. ADHD brains + millennial hot takes = pure unfiltered chaos.
Sara & Eve debate:
- Why no-show socks should be canceled 🧦
- Crop tops, low-rise jeans & fashion fails 👖
- Sleeping with or without underwear (yes, we went there) 🛏️
- Coffee snobbery & everything showers ☕🚿
- The confusing, unspoken rules...
What happened to the days when you just grabbed a DVD off the shelf? Sara and Eve dive into the exhausting reality of juggling Netflix, Disney+, Prime, Crave (and don’t forget the ads 🙃). Along the way, they swap funny stories about landlines, glittery frog doorbells, and why every ADHD brain secretly loves rewatching the same cozy movies.

This week we’re mixing it up with a full-on Q&A episode! You asked, we answered — everything from everyday ADHD struggles to random life questions that had us laughing way too hard.
Think of it like hanging out with your sisters on the couch: no script, no filter, just honest takes and a lot of fun. From big “what ifs” to silly everyday confessions, this one’s packed with ADHD relatability and the kind of humor that makes you sa...
Why does change feel so dramatic—even when it’s something small like a haircut or trying a new coffee order? In this episode, Sara & Eve get real about why our ADHD brains resist change, how to spot the green flags that a change might actually be good for you, and what it looks like to move through discomfort without losing your mind.
We’ll share our own funny (and sometimes cringey) change stories, talk about the “messy middle”...
Ever spend an entire afternoon “cleaning” only to realize… nothing actually looks different? 🙃 In this episode of Burnt Out Perfectionist, Sara & Eve dive into the world of ADHD cleaning — the pile-shuffling, distraction spirals, emotional landmines, and hilariously unhelpful hacks that somehow feel productive.
🎧 What we’re unpacking:
- The dopamine rush of starting but never quite finishing
- The art of moving piles from one sp...
