🎙️ Guess who’s back from the dead? Sarah—barely. After getting bodied by walking pneumonia, an ear infection, and just a casual full-system life meltdown, she’s somehow upright and podcasting again. (Please clap 👏.)

Meanwhile, Erika’s been busy doing her therapist-assigned homework (aka emotional waterboarding) and is now being forced to say nice things about herself. Disgusting. 🚫

Together, we unpack grief, guilt, hyper-productivity, Greyhound rage, and why asking for help still feels like a moral failure (even when you're dying inside). Spoiler alert: We’re still bad at self-care, but great at spiraling. 🌀

This week, we're talking about grief, Greyhound buses (rage level: unlocked 🔥), hyper-productivity as a trauma response, and why we both still think we’re secretly terrible at everything—even when people literally tell us otherwise. 🙃

Listen now—because if we’re falling apart, we’re doing it with style. 🎧🔥

Truest Era Unlocked 🔓 (We’re Hot, We’re Healing, and We’ve Had It)

In this week’s chaos therapy session—ahem, we mean episode—Sarah and Erika arrive in their Truest Eras: black chokers, emo prom hangovers, and allergic reactions to both nickel and nonsense. 🖤✨

We’re talking flatback earrings, unsolicited pegging requests (yes, again), and the ✨delusion✨ of men who say they “want a strong woman” but can’t handle her being busier, funnier, hotter, and generally more evolved than them. 😌💅

Plus:

🧠 ADHD meets Avoidance meets... Emotional Triage.

📉 Sex drive? Tanked—by grown men acting like third children.

🚩 Dating App Clown Parade: now featuring men who lie about both height and handlebar mustaches.

Somewhere in all this? A love letter to self-awareness, evolution, and only crying off-camera. Maybe.

So grab your protein coffee, slap on your eyeliner, and press play—because this one’s cathartic, chaotic, and hella cute. 💋

🎙️ Episode 30: Budgeting, Burnout, and the Big 3-0

In this episode of Living Understaffed, Erika & Sarah try (and fail?) to have a serious chat about budgets without spiraling into financial chaos, emotional check-ins, and a mini roast of overpriced oat milk. 💸🥲

They dive into:

• Mental health and money triggers 💰🧠
• How “self-care” somehow ends up costing $300
• Why turning 30 isn’t a crisis—it’s a rebrand
• And the real reason we avoid checking our bank accounts (hint: denial is free)

As always, there’s a little chaos, a lot of real talk, and the ongoing battle between “treat yourself” and “don’t go broke.” 🙃

🎧 Listen now before we regret our life choices on-air.
