But Why Are We All Burnt Out? | The Psychology, Politics & Pressure Behind Exhaustion
We were going to do something light and fun. But then… we remembered we’re burnt out. In this episode, Kristin and Laura explore the complex emotional, physical, and political layers of burnout — not just as a personal feeling, but as a symptom of the systems we live in. Between rainbow sightings, chaotic dog farts, and some very real science, we unpack:• What burnout really is (and why most people don’t know)• How capitalism, patriarchy, and perfectionism fuel exhaustion• Why women experience burnout more — and feel guiltier for it• The toxic myth of "time management" as a fix-all• What rest actually looks like across different neurotypes This is not a productivity episode. It’s a psychological deep-dive into why we’re all so tired, and what it might take to step off the treadmill — even just a little. Socials: https://linktr.ee/butwhy.pod
