Episode 11: "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Burnout"

from Work Wives & Real Lives · host Ava Bodeau and Katie Nyberg

 Weekend chaos, dramatic emails, and a collective energy crisis — welcome back to another episode of Work Wives and Real Lives, where we catch up, spiral a little, and unpack why burnout keeps finding us no matter how many “self-care Sundays” we schedule. This week we’re talking burnout — the contagious kind that spreads faster than a group text meltdown. From inbox insanity and unrealistic expectations to the myth of balance, we’re breaking down how burnout shows up, what it really looks like, and how to finally stop glorifying “busy.” Get ready for a dramatic email reading (yes, chargeback culture is a thing), some painfully relatable burnout stories, and the ultimate reality TV tie-in — because if Housewives can build empires and nap, so can we. Timestamps 0:00:00 – 0:00:31 → Intro 0:00:31 – 0:11:00 → Weekend Catch-Up & Girl Chat 0:11:00 – 0:42:00 → Weekend Tangents & Life Chaos 0:42:00 – 0:53:18 → Dramatic Email Reading: Chargeback Culture & Inbox Burnout 0:53:18 – 1:27:23 → The Sisterhood of the Traveling Burnout: Stories, Signs & Survival 1:27:13 – 1:38:14 → Reality TV Recap + Closing Thoughts
