Ep. 07: The Midlife Millennial Career Crisis

Welcome back to Bras Off Confessional! This week, we've got a new format. Every episode now opens with what we've been obsessing over that week...because if we have to hear about your sales pipeline, you have to hear about Josiah from TikTok and his Facebook Marketplace meal collection. It's unregulated. It's chaotic. One woman named Toya is selling hard-boiled eggs in what may or may not be dysentery. We are obsessed.Then: the millennial career crisis. Not the sanitized LinkedIn version, the real one. Molly did the research and it turns out there's a name for what we're all experiencing, and sociologists are now studying it. Shocking. She's also been laid off three times in 18 months in a field that essentially disappeared overnight. Michaela built a marketing agency from nothing and still hit a wall of burnout that money couldn't fix. There's a name for that too.BUT it's not all doom and gloom. Stick with us for a surprisingly tender detour about whimsy, reconnecting with your inner child, and why so many of us are doing diamond art and pressing leaves in 2026.We're not saying quit your job. We're saying know who you are without it.In this episode:New format intro: what we're obsessed with this week The Great Millennial Career Crisis — what it is and why sociologists are officially studying usThe hedonic treadmill and why making more money eventually stops workingWhy America is uniquely bad at letting people be human beingsWhimsy as survival strategy: side hustles, soup clubs, botanical coasters, and furniture refinishingConfessions: the conference call Google search, police hide and seek, and the truth about female masturbationPatreon members already heard this one yesterday.
