Have you been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and just plain burnt out? Today on Fingers Crossed, Sierra and Kristee are unpacking the ever growing theme of Millennial burnout. They discuss how societal changes have caused an epidemic of overwork disguised as "hustle" or "productivity" culture—and how it's a dangerous slippery slope. They read excerpts from Anne Helen Petersen's article about Millennial burnout, as well as tons of listener responses about how burnout is affecting their lives. S&K will be releasing a part TWO on this topic the following week, because they have a lot to say, and a lot more articles to share. Stay tuned!
