Welcome back to Living Understaffed, where time isn’t real, everyone is dehydrated, and productivity is mostly a rumor. This week, Sarah & Erika are joined by indie author Eisley Rose for round two of beautiful chaos, and somehow we cover all of this in one episode: 🧠 ADHD side quests (cleaning one thing turns into reorganizing your entire life) ✈️ Planes, trains, automobiles, and storage units that cost more than rent 🍞 Sourdough starters with old-lady names 🐕 Dogs eating sweatpants and surviving purely on vibes 📚 Writing dystopian, action-packed, feminist-rage-fueled books that actually make you feel something Eisley walks us through her Glitched series, a genre-bending dystopian saga featuring modern-day Spartans, secret civilizations, revenge arcs, mythology, romance, rage, and women who absolutely do not wait to be rescued. We talk writing process, rejection, self-publishing, playlists for fight scenes, accidental kink leaks, and why “say my name again” is the line. 🔥 Also discussed: • Why writer’s block is fake (for Eisley, at least) • Third-person POV supremacy • Emotional damage as a literary device • Men who want to be called “good boy” (unprompted) • Why being direct isn’t being mean • Darkness, light, and absolutely no compliment sandwiches This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt understaffed, overstimulated, underestimated, or one minor inconvenience away from becoming a vigilante. Listen now before we reorganize something unnecessarily and forget what we were doing in the first place. 💅📖🚨 Affiliate Shoutouts Because Capitalism Still Exists: If you enjoyed this episode and want to support the pod without emotionally overextending yourself, check out our affiliates in the show notes. 🎧💸 Grab a $15 Instacart credit for your first order (because grocery stores are a sensory nightmare), stock up on things that make life easier, and help us keep the lights on, the mics hot, and Erika marginally hydrated.
