Your job is literally killing you

The Burnout Collective ·

2025/02/25

Well, Rebecca took a pain killer right before the show (that's where we're at). But this week, we're talking about dealing with chronic illnesses, both mental and physical, especially in the workplace. We discuss the struggle of working through pain in high-stress job hellscapes because we're sometimes afraid to take time off. We also talk about the invisible illnesses others don't see and how it sucks to feel judged or second-guessed by others in your life when you're ill (managers, pa...

TW: Please note that this episode contains some brief talk of eating disorders, as well as mentions of fatphobia and body shaming. If you're sensitive to these topics, we suggest skipping through minutes 14 to 17 and 25 to 38. Get ready to talk food burnout with us in Episode 12. We discuss pandemic grocery woes, meal prep/planning exhaustion, dietary restrictions, and eating on hard mode when our health or the meds we take affect our appetite.

Cat butthole in your face kinda week

The Burnout Collective ·

2025/02/14

You guys. It's been a week. Rebecca is obsessed with Rednote. She'll be speaking fluent Mandarin in about 2 weeks. Jamie tried to watch her first episode of J*e R*gan, but gave up after 15 minutes. It's time to delve into moral injury vs. burnout. We couldn't help but talk about the dumpster fire that is big tech, Meta's racist AI gone rogue, and DEI efforts being dismantled. Plus, we discuss how M*rk Z*ckubus is doing away with factchecking and blocking links from an IG competitor...al...

The millennials who ruined everything

The Burnout Collective ·

2025/02/11

We made it to Episode 10! Our tiny, black neurodivergent hearts thank all of you for that. Our special episode needed a special guest (and our first!) and we're so happy it was Elyssa. Elyssa is one of our good friends that we both met at work and she hasn't been able to get rid of us since. She is a a creator in so many ways—artist, writer, podcaster, TikTok creator, personal finance expert, and so much more. Elyssa talks about her year-and-a-half struggle with unemployment, disc...

Coping mechanisms and life preservers

The Burnout Collective ·

2025/02/04

In this episode, we dive straight into the coping mechanisms we use every day to function (and survive). We discuss both helpful and harmful ways to dissociate and find comfort in the chaos (video games, shopping, tv shows, sleep) especially if you're neurodivergent. We focus on taking care of our mental health, the importance of therapy and meds, and the struggles of actually obtaining the diagnosis/medication you need. We also highlight the emotional impact of the pandemic—especially when i...

Savory gelatin and why we all need a nap

The Burnout Collective ·

2025/01/28

This episode is all about surviving the holidays, savory gelatin dishes (that all seem to trace back to Mormons and The Midwest), and why we all just need a nap. We discuss how much pressure has been put on women for generations to Make the Holidays Happen. We also share personal stories about family dynamics during holiday get togethers and the importance of setting boundaries to protect our mental health (like just saying no to invites). Plus, we get to mock Jamie's vegan Thanksgiving feast...

The Burnout Collective ·

In this episode, we discuss the quirks and joys of having a "work spouse" or work bestie. We share hilarious stories about workplace etiquette (like being betrayed by a potential work wife), the importance of having a reliable ally at work, and the unspoken rules of office friendships. Plus, Rebecca has her own moment of realization that she's the "mean friend." And, dear reader, she's thrilled.Have a suggestion for our next episode? A burnout story to share? Send us a text!

We're the problem

The Burnout Collective ·

2025/01/21

In this episode of the Burnout Collective, we discuss a topic we have no business discussing: shopping. Or, rather, using shopping as a coping mechanism—which some like to call doom spending. We talk about buying unnecessary items when stressed or bored, like 6 different Muslin Comfort blankets (and this one time a car). We then chat about the struggle of managing finances to begin with, the science of social media advertising, and the impacts of ADHD on spending habits. Although we know this...

Rehab for serial killers

The Burnout Collective ·

2025/01/14

In Episode 2 of The Burnout Collective, we chat about what haunts us all...MANAGERS. From the rare good manager to the plethora of terrible managers we've encountered in our careers, each and every one has shaped our own management styles. We discuss the irreversible damage bad managers can do, how some people just have a lust for power, the importance of empathy as a leader, and quiet leadership. But we're only naming names on our Patreon. So don't get too excited.Have a suggestion for our n...

Take it personally

2025/01/14

Well, somebody got laid off. So we fast-tracked this episode to take full advantage of her trauma and poke at fresh wounds. [Redacted] shares her recent layoff experience and how she's dealing (or not) with it. We chat about the rollercoaster that is job (in)security, toxic workplaces, and the importance of remembering to put yourself first.

That was BS, right?

The Burnout Collective ·

2025/01/09

In the first episode of The Burnout Collective, we share how we met and how we immediately started bonding over corporate BS—emphasizing the need for companies to have a "no asshole" policy. We talk about dealing with mean girls on the daily, the need to form strategic alliances, and why trauma bonding is inevitable. We unpack the experiences with burnout we’ve had throughout our careers, the toll workplace stress can take on our mental health, and the importance of forming supportive friends...
