Jamie and Rebecca kick off the latest Burnout Collective episode with the outrageous idea of real-life Tamagotchi, but with your pets, raising the stakes for every pet owner out there. The duo brings a humorous yet insightful discussion on managing life and work while burnt out, especially during the holidays. They delve into personal anecdotes about introversion, traveling tips, Alaska Airlines lounges, and productivity tools like Fantastical, Things, and Goblin Tools. Body doubling, making small wins, and the power of collaboration make recurring themes in this fun yet practical podcast episode aimed at helping listeners find easier ways to get things done and maintain their sanity.

This episode is all about surviving the holidays, savory gelatin dishes (that all seem to trace back to Mormons and The Midwest), and why we all just need a nap. We discuss how much pressure has been put on women for generations to Make the Holidays Happen. We also share personal stories about family dynamics during holiday get togethers and the importance of setting boundaries to protect our mental health (like just saying no to invites). Plus, we get to mock Jamie's vegan Thanksgiving feast and we find out just how much Rebecca likes soup.

In this episode, we discuss the quirks and joys of having a "work spouse" or work bestie. We share hilarious stories about workplace etiquette (like being betrayed by a potential work wife), the importance of having a reliable ally at work, and the unspoken rules of office friendships. Plus, Rebecca has her own moment of realization that she's the "mean friend." And, dear reader, she's thrilled.
