32 - Half-Dead, Dumb Homework & Delusions of Stability

🎙️ Guess who’s back from the dead? Sarah—barely. After getting bodied by walking pneumonia, an ear infection, and just a casual full-system life meltdown, she’s somehow upright and podcasting again. (Please clap 👏.)

Meanwhile, Erika’s been busy doing her therapist-assigned homework (aka emotional waterboarding) and is now being forced to say nice things about herself. Disgusting. 🚫

Together, we unpack grief, guilt, hyper-productivity, Greyhound rage, and why asking for help still feels like a moral failure (even when you're dying inside). Spoiler alert: We’re still bad at self-care, but great at spiraling. 🌀

This week, we're talking about grief, Greyhound buses (rage level: unlocked 🔥), hyper-productivity as a trauma response, and why we both still think we’re secretly terrible at everything—even when people literally tell us otherwise. 🙃

Listen now—because if we’re falling apart, we’re doing it with style. 🎧🔥

💀 Also, don't forget: 10-May is the Lit & Libations show in Kansas City! Come drink with us, cry-laugh with us, and witness this chaos in person. 🍷📚✨ You deserve it. We deserve it. Everybody deserves it.
