episode 12 - our approach to 'dead week'

Cole and Meag chat about that weird week between Christmas and New Years. Some call it Boxing Week, some call it Dead Week, some call it a Black Hole (only Nicole calls it a Black Hole). Tune in this week to learn: why Meag thinks the airport is a lawless place how to handle the guilt of not being productive during dead week whether or not dead week is even helpful for our mental health (cue this Atlantic article: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/12/christmas-new-years-dead-week-romjul/621098/) how to mitigate the challenges of comparison during dead week (hint: we aren't entirely sure) why, for both of us, self care isn't synonymous with laying on the couch and taking a bath right now where the guilt of doing nothing comes from (it isn't just hustle culture) the shows we're going to dip our d*ck into (hint: they vary wildly from Cole to Meag) the key things we want to get out of dead week
