Hi everyone, welcome back to Bad on Paper podcast.

I'm Becca Freeman and I'm Grace Atwood.

And today we have an episode of Burnout and if this is any indication of Becca and I

state right now, we both like tried to record this intro out, and talked over each other

the whole time.

Yeah, this is a more personal episode about Burnout.

So two weeks ago we had Anne Helen Peterson on the podcast who is somewhat of an expert

on Burnout and has written a book on the subject.

And we were talking about Burnout more from an academic perspective or theoretical perspective,

but it felt like a topic that was worth digging into from a personal level too because it's

something we both have experience with.

And potentially one of us is experiencing currently.

So I feel like, you know, it's something that's so much a part of the cultural zeitgeist

right now with the pandemic and kind of all the added stressors that that's added on

to people's plates in addition to what they were dealing with before.

So we wanted to dig in there from a personal level.

But before we get into the episode, this episode is sponsored by the makers of our all time

favorite pillow, night.

And we're sharing some pretty major news from the brand.

And if you didn't hear us talk about it in the last ad, here's a hint.

It's colorful news.

And we'll tell you all about it a little later in the episode.
