It’s 7:00 on a Sunday night. The weekend was good, maybe exactly what you needed, and the dread shows up anyway. You’re still getting everything done at work. You’re still the one people count on. Something just feels off, and a couple of days away isn’t touching it.

Join Anna and Tim as they dig into burnout at work, what it actually looks like, and why rest keeps falling short when nothing about the job changes. Anna brings the therapist’s eye for when burnout might be something more, and Tim brings the view from the other side of the desk as someone who manages a team. They get honest about the bosses who hear it, care for a minute, and move on to the next fire, and about why being the one who always handles it might be part of what’s burning you out.

This Episode Covers:

• The difference between being tired and being exhausted.
• Why you can love your job and still need the conditions of it to change.
• Capability versus capacity, and what happens when nobody’s listening.
• When burnout and depression start to overlap.
• The six areas where a mismatch with your job can quietly wear you down.
• What if being the reliable one is part of the problem.
• The hole in the bucket that time off can’t plug.
• What to say when your boss tells you everything is a priority.

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!

You leave lunch with a few friends, and it hits you on the drive home. Not one person asked how you’re doing. You listened to everybody, you laughed in the right places, and you walk away thinking they don’t really know you. Nobody took the time to ask.

Join Anna and Tim as they get honest about friendships that start to feel one-sided, the ones where you’re always the one hosting and the one who texts first. Anna admits something she didn’t like about herself. Somewhere in her late 30s and 40s, she started keeping score. Tim pushes back on what actually makes a friendship mutual, and the two of them don’t land in the same place. They get into the difference between a friend in a hard season and a friend who’s just like this, the secret test so many of us run on our friends without saying a word, and why a friendship breakup between women can cut deeper than anyone expects.

This Episode Covers:

• Always being the one who hosts and makes the plans.
• Keeping score, and what Anna noticed in herself when she started.
• What makes a friendship feel mutual, and where Anna and Tim see it differently.
• Is this a hard season or an ongoing pattern?
• The friend who turns your story into a story about them.
• The secret test we run on friends who have no idea they’re in it.
• Why guys handle friendship friction so differently.
• Fading versus ghosting, and when a close friend deserves an explanation.

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!

You get in the car after lunch with a friend and realize they never asked you a single question. Not one. You know about their job, their kids, their mother-in-law, all of it. By the time you walk in your front door, you’re not that interested in doing lunch again anytime soon. And you never said anything.

Join Anna and Tim as they pick back up on the relationship questions Anna has been asked for decades, this time digging into resentment and what to do with it before it starts coming out in your tone and your texts. Anna gets honest about a friendship that turned into a monologue for more than a year, and Tim gets called out, in front of everybody, for holding things in because he’s worried about how the other person will feel. From the lunchroom to the leadership seat, it’s a real look at the hard conversations most of us keep putting off.

This Episode Covers:

• Why “it’s not that big of a deal” keeps you quiet until it is one.
• The mind reading that kicks in when you decide they should already know.
• What happens when you finally speak up after a year, and they get mad back.
• Saying “don’t worry about it” when you mean the exact opposite.
• How worrying about the other person’s feelings can hold you back.
• The difference between never speaking up and speaking up and getting dismissed.
• What Anna writes down before walking into a hard conversation.
• How leaders teach people whether it’s safe to bring them bad news.

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
