Episode notes

Scams, slings, and a dead phone in the ER. In this episode, Jayne and Heather unpack the exhaustion that creeps in when you're the go-to for everything—and everyone.

We’re talking fake Netflix texts, emotional landmines, surprise orthopedic crises, and what it really means to "pace yourself" when the chaos doesn’t quit. Plus, a new mantra: breathe first, blame later.
