Burnt Out Perfectionist

Sara and Eve

You had the to-do list, the plan, the vision. You were going to be amazing, do all the things, and have it all together. And somehow you still ended up here — exhausted, overthinking, and wondering why nobody mentioned how hard this actually is. Burnt Out Perfectionist is a podcast for high achievers who are done pretending. Hosted by sisters Sara and Eve — a millennial and a Gen Z, 15 years apart and somehow dealing with the exact same stuff — each episode is a real, unfiltered conversation about ADHD, burnout, perfectionism, mental load, parenting chaos, and unlearning everything hustle culture sold us. Some episodes are planned. Some go completely off script. Some are riffing on whatever's trending, and some are just things that needed to be said out loud. No five-step solutions. No expert takes. Just honest laughs and real talk from two people who are very much still figuring it out. If you've ever had "cry later" on your to-do list — you're in the right place. New episodes every Monday at 6 AM PST.... except holidays because a girl has to live lol

    The Productivity Trap: When Doing More Makes You Feel Worse

    Sara and Eve are talking about the productivity trap — that thing where you plan a chill day, end up reorganizing the entire house, and somehow feel like you did nothing. Laundry that procreates, chia seed explosions, making someone sign a contract before you clean their room, and why doing more is making you feel worse. If you've ever had the most productive day of your life and still gone to bed feeling like you failed — this one's for you. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere you get your podcasts 📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube 💜 New episodes every Monday at 6 AM PST 📌 All links + socials: linktr.ee/burntoutperfectionist 00:00 Intro 00:26 Survive & thrive: it's hot + Canadian wildfire chaos 03:23 The productivity trap explained 03:50 The ADHD morning spiral (pajamas → laundry → gym?) 06:01 Dishwasher discourse 09:20 Productivity ≠ actually doing the task (laundry edition) 11:59 The washer/dryer all-in-one rabbit hole 16:28 Social media cleaning vs. realistic cleaning 17:00 The bathroom = Eve's productivity kickstart 19:47 Icing sugar bags and pantry chaos 20:19 Chia seed explosion (RIP clean kitchen) 21:03 The clothes declutter spiral 23:50 Weekend productivity planning + bottle returns 27:15 "Chill but productive" days (husband's term) 29:30 Relying on other people to keep your momentum 30:57 Being productive when others are productive 34:49 The worst: finishing everything and someone says "but did you do THIS?" 37:55 Priorities first — then organize your socks by colour 41:30 Baking fails and freezer meal regrets 43:48 Outro Stay as warped and twisted as ever.
