Whether it’s masking, burnout, or just trying to do the dang dishes, this episode is full of tiny tools that somehow manage to feel like big wins.You’ll hear about Megan’s very official lanyard moment, what stadium sports have to do with laundry, and why naming your chaos can sometimes be the exact trick you need to move through it.
