Episode 11: I Don’t Need a Holiday, I Need Everyone to Stop Asking Me for Things This week’s episode is lighter, honest, and probably a little too relatable. We’re talking about the kind of exhaustion that isn’t fixed by sleep or a weekend away — the mental load, constant accessibility, emotional labour, invisible responsibility, and what happens when being “capable” quietly becomes your entire personality. From unfinished thoughts and overstimulation to why women fantasise about cabins in the middle of nowhere, this episode explores the difference between needing a holiday and simply needing nobody to need anything from you for five minutes. Funny, personal, and uncomfortably accurate. If you’ve ever said “I’m just tired” when what you really meant was “I cannot answer one more question today” — this one’s for you.
