Ever start thinking about one thing… and end up somewhere completely different? Welcome to Getting Squirreled, a podcast about the very human experience of getting distracted by our thoughts. Hosted by two friends, Christian and Amie, who believe honesty and humor are the best ways to understand life, the show explores the moments when our minds wander — and what those moments can reveal about who we are. Through real stories, relatable experiences, and unfiltered conversations, the hosts talk about the thoughts, emotions, and distractions that shape our daily lives. From overthinking and self-doubt to relationships, stress, and the constant noise of the modern world, Getting Squirreled embraces the messy reality of being human. Because sometimes the best insights happen when the conversation goes a little off track.

    Corporate Burnout, ADHD Brains, Menopause Mood Swings & Finding Humor

    Two longtime corporate America veterans introduce their podcast, “Getting Squirreled,” and explain it as the distracted, noisy-in-your-head feeling that comes from ADHD, menopause, anger, devices, and nonstop modern chaos. They vent about bad bosses, boring meetings, rules as “suggestions,” and how reels, daydreaming, and constant noise detach people from who they are. Along the way they joke about HR run-ins, coping with irritation, tiny-home communities, and true-crime shows, while repeatedly demonstrating how quickly their conversation goes off track. They share motivations for starting the show—burnout, trying something new, personal growth, bringing humor to serious topics, and helping people feel less alone—plus coping ideas like unplugging, getting outside, adrenaline hobbies, choosing the right people, and staying grounded through dogs. 00:00 Breathing And Setup 00:18 Why We Are Here 00:59 What Getting Squirreled Means 02:09 Corporate America Rants 02:53 Noise In My Head 04:57 Phone Reels And Work Words 06:02 Unplugging From The Matrix 06:50 Tiny Homes And Communities 08:11 Serial Killer Tangent 10:18 Too Much Going On 11:32 Leaving Boring Meetings 13:05 Why Start The Show 14:54 Humor Versus Serious 16:56 Coaching And Getting It Out 17:16 Bugs Snakes And Rats 17:47 Tiny Home Rat Scare 18:20 Express Yourself Tangent 19:11 Melvin Period Stories 21:11 GPS Voices And Daydreaming 22:17 Bloat Dolly Parton Talk 23:25 True Crime And Anger 26:23 Gummies And Munchies 27:25 Bird Poop And BB Guns 28:50 Work Distraction Coping 31:20 Authenticity Joy And Community 34:19 Wrap Up Getting Squirreled
