De-Influencing Ourselves: Things We Bought to Fix Our Lives
Explícito
Because apparently the right planner, productivity app, Kindle, kitchen appliance, subscription, or aesthetically pleasing organizational system was finally going to turn us into people who have their shit together. Spoiler: it did not. This week, we're de-influencing ourselves and talking about all the things we've bought because social media convinced us they would make us more productive, organized, healthier, happier, more well-read, or just generally better at life. From planners we don't use and apps we forget we pay for to ADHD-targeted products, mystery boxes, e-readers, kitchen gadgets, and more—we're asking the important question: Did this actually make our lives better… or did TikTok just get us again? Grab your emotional support beverage and join us for a completely unplanned, mildly chaotic conversation about buying things, abandoning things, and accepting that maybe the secret to getting our lives together isn't another $300 app.

Permission Slip: The Things We Refuse to Feel Guilty About Anymore
Explícito
paper plates, jarred garlic, screen time, and skipping the gym to clean the house — we're done apologizing for all of it. this week we go through everything society guilt-trips us for and why none of it deserves the guilt. We're breaking down every "you should feel bad about this" list society hands us — food shortcuts, parenting choices, ADHD workarounds, and the hustle culture lie that rest has to be earned. Spoiler: paper plates aren't ruining your life. 📺 Also on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/burntoutperfectionist 🌐 More from us: https://burntoutperfectionist.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/burntoutperfectionists/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/burntoutperfectionist ✉️ Say hi: burntoutperfectionist@gmail.com
The Productivity Trap: When Doing More Makes You Feel Worse
Explícito
Sara and Eve are talking about the productivity trap — that thing where you plan a chill day, end up reorganizing the entire house, and somehow feel like you did nothing. Laundry that procreates, chia seed explosions, making someone sign a contract before you clean their room, and why doing more is making you feel worse. If you've ever had the most productive day of your life and still gone to bed feeling like you failed — this one's for you. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere you get your podcasts 📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube 💜 New episodes every Monday at 6 AM PST 📌 All links + socials: linktr.ee/burntoutperfectionist 00:00 Intro 00:26 Survive & thrive: it's hot + Canadian wildfire chaos 03:23 The productivity trap explained 03:50 The ADHD morning spiral (pajamas → laundry → gym?) 06:01 Dishwasher discourse 09:20 Productivity ≠ actually doing the task (laundry edition) 11:59 The washer/dryer all-in-one rabbit hole 16:28 Social media cleaning vs. realistic cleaning 17:00 The bathroom = Eve's productivity kickstart 19:47 Icing sugar bags and pantry chaos 20:19 Chia seed explosion (RIP clean kitchen) 21:03 The clothes declutter spiral 23:50 Weekend productivity planning + bottle returns 27:15 "Chill but productive" days (husband's term) 29:30 Relying on other people to keep your momentum 30:57 Being productive when others are productive 34:49 The worst: finishing everything and someone says "but did you do THIS?" 37:55 Priorities first — then organize your socks by colour 41:30 Baking fails and freezer meal regrets 43:48 Outro Stay as warped and twisted as ever.

The Secret Is Nobody Knows What They're Doing
Explícito
This week on Burnt Out Perfectionist, Sara and Eve dive into all the things adults seem to understand—but somehow nobody ever actually explained. From taxes, write-offs, benefits, investing, and mortgages to skincare routines, engagement rings, body types, colour analysis, and periods, we're admitting the things we've been quietly Googling for years. Because at some point, adulthood starts to feel like everyone else got an instruction manual and we somehow missed the meeting. Join us for a funny, honest conversation about the things we pretend to understand, the things we're still figuring out, and why the secret might be that nobody really knows what they're doing. 🎙️ In this episode: • Taxes & business write-offs • Benefits, insurance & claims • Investing & the stock market • Mortgages & home buying • Skincare & beauty routines • Body types & colour analysis • Engagement rings & wedding expectations • The strange reality of being an adult ✨ Follow Burnt Out Perfectionist for new episodes every Monday. #BurntOutPerfectionist #Adulting #MillennialLife #ADHDPodcast #MentalLoad #PersonalGrowth #WomenPodcast #LifeUnfiltered #AdultProblems #PodcastLife
We Miss When the Internet Was Ugly (Part 2)
Explícito
Remember when websites had personality, social media felt social, and you didn't need to create three accounts, enter a one-time code, and dodge fifteen pop-ups just to download a printable? In Part 2 of our internet nostalgia conversation, Sara and Eve dive into everything that makes the modern internet feel exhausting. From endless ads, algorithm overload, and influencer consumerism to overpriced water bottles, impossible lunch containers, online shopping frustrations, and the disappearance of fun, quirky corners of the web, we're asking: Did technology make life easier, or just more complicated? In this episode: Why every website feels the same Pop-ups, subscriptions, and digital overload The pressure to buy everything online The rise of influencer culture and consumer trends Why shopping online has become exhausting The return of old-school crafts and creativity When convenience stopped being convenient What part of the old internet do you miss most? New episodes every Monday.
We Miss The Old Internet
Explícito
Remember when every website looked completely different? This week, Sara and Eve are taking a nostalgic trip through the internet we grew up with — the weird websites, messy profiles, Tumblr themes, MSN Messenger, early Instagram, and the days before every app looked exactly the same. We chat about: • Why social media feels exhausting now • When online shopping became a scavenger hunt • The death of weird internet culture • Why everything online suddenly looks beige • Fast-moving trends and algorithm overload • The platforms we secretly miss • The strange joy of an internet that wasn't trying to sell us something every five seconds Maybe we're just getting older. Or maybe the internet really was more fun when it was a little ugly. What part of the old internet do you miss most? #burntoutperfectionist #podcast #millennial #genz #nostalgia
Allergy Season, Summer Chaos & Why We're Never Prepared
Explícito
ara and Eve kick off the episode mid-chaos, bouncing from ADHD tangents and allergy season misery straight into the very real struggle of staying hydrated when your body just... forgets. From there it turns into a full warm-weather spiral — the impossible hunt for non-see-through summer clothes, pale girl foundation drama, and why everyone suddenly wants you to tattoo freckles on your face. They also get into the summer cooking dilemma (nothing sounds good, everything makes the house hot, and crock pots are a scam), plus the exhausting logistics of leaving the house when you're the one who has to pack for everyone. It's a whole mess, in the best way.
