Burnt Out Perfectionist

It’s our final episode of the year, and somehow… our pop culture bingo card actually hit.

From rom-com revivals and fashion throwbacks to unexpected celebrity moves and trends we joked about that came true, we’re breaking down what we predicted, what surprised us, and what completely missed the mark in 2025.

This episode is part recap, part reflection, and part “how did we get this right?” as we wrap up the year, share our survive-and-thrive moments, and look ahead to what 2026 might bring.

Grab your bingo card (or just your opinions) and play along...

We’re back with another festive mix of chaos, cozy vibes, and absolutely zero chill about the holidays. 🎄 This week, we’re diving into wrapping paper drama, Christmas spending pressure, wish list culture, and why everyone seems either extra nice… or deeply unhinged during December.

From over-the-top gift hauls to thrifted Christmas budgets to Hallmark movies with fourteen unnecessary plot lines — we’re spiraling (lovingly) through it all.

In today’s episode, we chat about:

🎁 Wrapping paper hoarding & organization fails

🛍️ Christmas consumerism vs the “I’m only thrifting this year” girlies

📱 Wish list PowerPoint c...

This week, we somehow spend 11 minutes talking about Wicked before even touching the topic — but yes, there are spoilers. After that, we deep-dive into change: the tiny ADHD-approved refreshes (new phone wallpaper), the medium-impact stuff (cutting dairy before it cuts you), and the full-blown life-altering chaos (moves, breakups, death, existential spirals). It’s cozy, unhinged, and aggressively on-brand. stay warped and twisted as ever.

Part 2 is HERE because apparently we still don’t have time for ANY of this. Parenting trends, internet culture, influencer weirdness, holiday chaos — it’s all unhinged and we’re ranting about every last bit of it.

Today we spiral through: ✨ The TV show literally called Children Ruin Everything 💬 The gentle parenting debate (and the wild assumptions that come with it)

🚫 “No contact culture” being used completely wrong

📱 Parents oversharing their kids online

🍔 Mukbangs, influencer hauls, and why Americans MUST say what country they’re in

🛍️ Amazon link chaos when Canada never has the same st...

This week, we’re diving into the things we absolutely do not have the time, energy, or emotional bandwidth for — from over-the-top Christmas aesthetics to celebrity drama that somehow still ends up on our For You Pages.

In true Burnt Out Perfectionist fashion, we bounce between the funny, the petty, and the unexpectedly deep as we unpack: 🎄 Christmas trends that make zero sense 📸 The pressure to have an “aesthetic holiday” ✨ Celebrity relationship speculation (please stop asking them) 🎤 Why fandom culture can get… a little unhinged 💅 Wellness trends we’re too exhausted to even pretend to try 🤦‍♀️ And all the random chaos life keeps thr...

Everyone’s got coping mechanisms — some healthy, some questionable, some just pure chaos. This week, Sara and Eve talk about how ADHD brains try (and fail) to manage stress, emotion, and burnout. From cleaning frenzies to emotional snack binges, they get honest about what works, what doesn’t, and why perfection isn’t the goal.

Feeling socially drained after a “fun” weekend? You’re not alone. In this episode, Sara and Eve unpack the emotional crash that follows plans, parties, and parent events — the infamous social hangover. From holiday chaos to small talk anxiety and ADHD overstimulation, they explore why connection can still feel exhausting (and hilarious). Grab your coffee, curl up, and let’s normalize needing a full-day recovery from being social.

ADHD brains + meal planning = chaos.

In this week’s episode, sisters Sara and Eve test whether freezer meals can actually solve their daily “What’s for dinner?” crisis. From recipe fails to budget hacks and some chaotic laughter in between, they share what worked, what didn’t, and why shredded cheese is now a hill they’ll die on.

They also chat about: 🍂 Fall energy shifts and ADHD fatigue 🎂 Sara’s upcoming birthday (39!) 🎬 Wicked, Deadpool, and the power of movie snacks 🍝 Real-life ADHD meal prep hacks for tired brains

If you’ve ever stared into your fridge like...

This week’s episode is equal parts birthday celebration and survival mode. It’s Sara’s 39th birthday 🎉, everyone’s sick, Eve’s bleeding for her art (literally), and somehow we end up deep in a discussion about ADHD focus modes, work-from-home chaos, and the mysterious pain that comes with every “ergonomic” office chair.

If you’ve ever balanced adulthood, cold season, and ADHD all at once — this one’s for you.

In This Episode: 🎂 Turning 39 and pretending to feel “together” 🩹 Crafting mishaps & Eve’s DIY disaster 🧠 ADHD focus modes that almost work 🪑 The office chair comfort conspiracy 💻 Work-from-home...

Why do we keep rewatching the same comfort shows instead of starting something new? This week, Sara and Eve dive into ADHD nostalgia — the cozy chaos of rewatching Gilmore Girls, Reba, Supernatural, and every other show that raised us.

From dopamine hits to ADHD decision paralysis, we unpack why the same old episodes feel better than keeping up with new ones. Expect hot takes, childhood throwbacks, and plenty of sisterly banter along the way.

It’s funny, honest, and a little too relatable for anyone living in their “comfort rewatch era.”

Life with ADHD means even the smallest rewards can feel like survival tools. In this week’s episode of Burnt Out Perfectionist, Sara and Eve unpack the psychology of “treat yourself” — from reward snacks and midnight marshmallows to new hoodies, makeup palettes, and all the little indulgences that keep us moving.

We’re diving into:

It’s funny, honest, and a reminder that treating yourself...

ADHD sisters Sara & Eve break down the pressure of routines — from makeup hacks and skincare fails to decluttering chaos and the myth of being “low-maintenance.” If you’ve ever bought a travel-size serum, forgot it existed, or kept expired lipstick for years, you’ll feel right at home. Honest, funny, and very ADHD.

In part two of our Can We Be Frank? mini-series, Sara gets frankly honest about the bigger, messier side of ADHD chaos. From overpriced “artisan” everything and copycat book covers to childhood movie heartbreak (Bridge to Terabithia, My Girl, If) and parasocial fandom drama, this episode dives into the spicier, more controversial hot takes. It’s raw, relatable, and still full of unfiltered humor.

✨ New episodes every Monday @ 6AM PST

This week we’re getting frank about it all — socks, jeans, coffee, underwear, and the messy rules of adulting no one ever told us. ADHD brains + millennial hot takes = pure unfiltered chaos.

Sara & Eve debate:

It’s unfiltered ADHD storytelling, hilarious hot takes, and millennial nostalgia rolled into one.

What happened to the days when you just grabbed a DVD off the shelf? Sara and Eve dive into the exhausting reality of juggling Netflix, Disney+, Prime, Crave (and don’t forget the ads 🙃). Along the way, they swap funny stories about landlines, glittery frog doorbells, and why every ADHD brain secretly loves rewatching the same cozy movies.

#adhd #millennialnostalgia #streamingoverload #burntoutperfectionist

This week we’re mixing it up with a full-on Q&A episode! You asked, we answered — everything from everyday ADHD struggles to random life questions that had us laughing way too hard.

Think of it like hanging out with your sisters on the couch: no script, no filter, just honest takes and a lot of fun. From big “what ifs” to silly everyday confessions, this one’s packed with ADHD relatability and the kind of humor that makes you say, “same.”

✨ New episodes every Monday @ 6AM PST 👯 Hosted by sisters Sara & Eve

Why does change feel so dramatic—even when it’s something small like a haircut or trying a new coffee order? In this episode, Sara & Eve get real about why our ADHD brains resist change, how to spot the green flags that a change might actually be good for you, and what it looks like to move through discomfort without losing your mind.

We’ll share our own funny (and sometimes cringey) change stories, talk about the “messy middle” nobody warns you about, and give practical ADHD-friendly tips for navigating transitions. From career pivots to everyday routine swaps, thi...

Ever spend an entire afternoon “cleaning” only to realize… nothing actually looks different? 🙃 In this episode of Burnt Out Perfectionist, Sara & Eve dive into the world of ADHD cleaning — the pile-shuffling, distraction spirals, emotional landmines, and hilariously unhelpful hacks that somehow feel productive.

Ever feel like every scroll is screaming at you to fix your life — but you're too tired to care? Yeah, same. This episode is a deep dive into self-help overwhelm, ADHD loops, trying to change (again), and why burnout turns everything into one giant to-do list.

🎧 What we're unpacking:

💬 Sound off in the comments: What’s a self-help thing you tried th...

Remember CD samplers at HMV? Mall popcorn with an Icy? Or the heartbreak of watching your favorite froyo place disappear? In this episode, we’re taking a deep-dive into the delicious, weird, and wildly specific nostalgia of growing up in the 90s and early 2000s. From crushed lime soda to missing mashed potatoes on menus, we explore what made our childhoods taste and feel different—plus how today’s food culture is both better and somehow worse. If you’ve ever mourned a discontinued snack or wondered why kid outfits used to come with a matching scrunchie, this one’s for you.

We can’t stick to a routine for more than a week—but give us a fresh planner and we’ll build a cult around it. In this episode, we unpack the dopamine hit of new systems, the ADHD struggle to follow through, and the guilt spiral that follows. Join us for unhinged routines, productivity shame, and the dream that maybe this time we’ll keep it together.

This week, we spiral—in style. From binging “The Rookie” and dragging “We Were Liars,” to the rising cost of highlights (spoiler: it’s $650?!), we’re questioning what adulthood even is. Join us as we roast bad writing, nostalgic TV, and the myth that becoming an adult makes anything easier.

We also talk about post-pandemic burnout, budgeting for fun, and why the best shows came out between 2000–2014. If you’ve ever screamed “WHO APPROVED THIS SCRIPT?!” at your screen or silently judged a $500 haircut, this one’s for you.

Summer should feel like a break, but for ADHD brains, it's more like a group chat that never ends. This week, we're diving into the chaos of summer invites, BBQ burnout, RSVP dread, group chat overload, and the sacred act of pre-eating before a potluck.

We’re talking birthday party politics, adult crafts (yes, please), and why 9 PM invites feel personally offensive. Oh, and don't worry — we also talk about journaling, new pens, and surviving a uterus that’s out for blood.

🔥 If your summer calendar feels more exhausting than exciting, this one's for you.

Halfway through the year and… where are we at with those vision boards? In this mid-year recap, Sara and Eve revisit their 2024 goals—from the big dreams they’re actually making happen to the sticky notes still sitting untouched. They get real about motivation, shifting priorities, ADHD energy bursts, and the goals that quietly dropped off the radar (without shame).

This episode is part celebration, part reality check—and full of laughter, relatable chaos, and sisterly honesty. If you’re looking for permission to pivot, reflect, or recommit—this one’s for you.

Suddenly it’s 34°C, your deck box is full of spiders, the sunscreen turned you into a traffic cone, and you’re in charge of a school event with 80 missing volunteers. We weren’t ready.

This week, Sara and Eve rant (lovingly) about the chaos of seasonal change, sunscreen fails, ADHD-friendly event planning, and why summer feels like a full-time job. Plus: hammock wins, MGK hot takes, and a PSA to Australian Gold.

This week, summer rolled in like a heatwave with no warning—literally. We’re talking surprise sunburns, hammock naps, volunteer burnout, and how seasonal shifts mess with your whole routine. Whether you’re north or south of the border, the vibes are the same: sweaty, tired, and kind of over it. Plus, we roast tinted sunscreen, prep for end-of-school chaos, and question why adulting comes with no weather guide.
