38 - Saturn Returns, Storage Units & Sarcastic Ways to Shatter a Man

🌪️🪦🧠 Saturn Returns, Dead Cats, & 109 Ways to Trigger a Man

This week on Living Understaffed, the understaffed-ness hits a whole new level of unhinged as Sarah, Erika (with a K, obviously), and special guest Emma spiral together in what can only be described as a support group with sarcasm.

💻 Erika's understaffed moment includes playing “Interim Supervisor Who Knows Nothing” while her inbox commits cyber war crimes.

🎂 Sarah emotionally unpacks her birthday, basement anxiety, and the curse of gas station dating.

🧳 Emma is in peak Saturn return energy—sorting through her dad’s stolen divorce loot, mourning her dead cat (with a coffee cart in her honor), and contemplating buying a car held together by trauma and zip ties.

Also featuring:

• Accidental pegging conversations (AGAIN) 😑
• Military men, Boy Scouts, and the phrase “Nice Spanx”
• An entire roast of fragile male egos, courtesy of “109 Ways to Shatter the Male Ego” 🔥
• Gas station meet-cutes no one asked for
• Watercolor, womb energy, and TikTok inbox hell 🌀

PLUS: Author shoutouts, sibling psychic warfare, and the unavoidable truth that being attracted to men is a form of self-harm.

🎧 Listen in as we dodge inboxes, exes, and emotional collapse—because apparently we’re still doing all this without a full-time staff, HR department, or therapy budget.
