Episode 142: How's Your Social Battery?

Is your social battery dead? The Social Battery is the latest excuse-slash-label-slash-diagnosis for why we are so tired and can hardly bear to see anyone, do anything. So this week we discuss all the different batteries we could use and what would happen if we actually became fully-charged human women. WHAT THE HELL THEN? We also offer some translations for every day sayings like "I’ve had a bit of day" (I have just had the most intensely terrible experience of my life) and "Have you seen the news?” (I don’t want to tell you what is in the news in case you are too fragile. But another terrible thing has happened). Because have you seen the news? Oof. Link in bio.
