We sat down on April Fools' Day and did something a little different — we went through a list of oddly satisfying things that just HIT. You know the ones. They scratch something in your brain that's hard to explain but impossible to deny.

We all thought our childhood was normal… until someone else pointed out it absolutely wasn’t 😅

This week, we’re diving into the things we did growing up that made perfect sense in our house — but apparently confused everyone else. From emotional support pillows and favorite forks to buttered noodles, spaghetti sandwiches, and very specific “house rules”… we’re questioning everything.

Some of these might be universal. Some might just be us. Either way — we need to know…

👉 what’s something YOU thought was normal growing up that turned out to be weird?

Happy Monday! This week Sara and Eve are back for a full spiral on all things color analysis, makeup, and the absolute chaos of shopping for clothes as a woman. Sara finally cracked the makeup code using ChatGPT and a SheGlam order — and people at hockey and her parent support group kept asking if she was even wearing makeup. The method works and we're not taking questions.

They also both did color analysis (Sara is soft autumn, Eve is somewhere between soft summer and soft autumn which apparently makes her extra special and neutral), got deep into why cobalt blue is allowed despite what the season chart says, and then somehow ended up in a full breakdown of why women's clothing sizing is completely unhinged.

Why does every graphic tee have to be Guns N' Roses or Hello Kitty? Why do light wash jeans always fit three sizes smaller than dark wash in the exact same style? Why does a bra zipper open mid-shift at work with absolutely no warning? Why are heated floors quietly cooking people's jean shorts under their beds? And can someone please just make a soft boxy tee in a happy color that doesn't cost $50 and isn't see-through?

Happy Monday! This week Sara and Eve are just sitting down for a good old-fashioned catch-up — and honestly, it's a lot. Eve's house lost power and half the appliances stopped heating (ChatGPT saved the day), Sara did her neighbour's highlights and nearly had a heart attack during the rinse, and someone found the new Starbucks ube coconut macchiato and it's a problem.

They're diving into the world of hobbies and crafts — diamond painting drama, paint by number markers at Michaels, Book Outlet hauls, and why scrapbooking used to cost an actual fortune. Plus a full spiral into makeup struggles for pale girls: tinted sunscreens that turn orange, bronzers that are somehow three shades too dark, and Sara using ChatGPT to figure out her entire look — which then suggested she bleach the bottom of her hair purple. Honestly? Valid.

Reality TV used to feel fun. Now it feels like emotional marketing.

We started talking about shows we’ve been watching… and somehow ended up unpacking why competition shows don’t feel authentic anymore.

As two sisters (millennial + Gen Z, both ADHD), we realized we’re not just annoyed — we’re burned out by how manipulated everything feels.

Are we cynical? Or are shows just different now?

If you’ve ever: • skipped through the “sob story” • felt overwhelmed watching competitions • missed early 2000s authenticity • or questioned how real any of it is

This one’s for you.

Everyone online seems to be “making six figures from their side hustle”… so why does starting something feel so overwhelming?

This week, Sara and Eve get honest about what it actually looks like to build something from scratch — from launching a podcast in 2022 to navigating Etsy, Shopify, RSS feeds, social media burnout, and the very unglamorous backend of running an online business.

We talk about: – The myth of overnight success – Why most “I made $15k in a month” stories skip five years of work – The reality of government classifications and being called “below the poverty line” – Podcast tech chaos (GarageBand, Audacity, RSS feeds, Canva struggles) – Why burnout happens before the success does

If you’ve ever considered starting a podcast, online shop, or side hustle — or felt behind watching everyone else “win” — this episode is your reminder that growth is messy, nonlinear, and rarely as simple as Instagram makes it look.

Same time, same vibe. We’ll keep it real — because that’s what we do.

In this episode of Burnt Out Perfectionist, we’re talking about hobbies, hyperfixations, and the things we forgot we loved as kids.

From building forts and making random creations to nostalgia, creativity, and finding joy without pressure — this is a real conversation about why fun doesn’t need to be productive, monetized, or turned into a side hustle.

We talk about: • childhood hobbies and creative chaos • feeling disconnected from fun as adults • side hustle culture vs genuine enjoyment • hyperfixations, creativity, and curiosity • reconnecting with the things that made us feel alive

This episode feels like a cozy conversation between sisters figuring out how to make space for play again — without perfection or pressure.

In this episode (out Feb 9), we do an honest January check-in — the good, the chaotic, and the downright exhausting.

We talk about Blue Monday, doomscrolling, cold rinks, early mornings, and what it really feels like to “just get through” the month.

This isn’t a glow-up episode — it’s a real, couch-style reflection on burnout, energy, and balance.
