Sunscreen Betrayals, Volunteer Panic & Summer Overstimulation
Summer arrived like a slap to the face—no warning, no transition, just 34°C and a to-do list on fire. In this week’s episode of Burnt Out Perfectionist, we’re sweating (literally and emotionally) through everything from sunburns to seasonal chaos.
Whether you’re chasing your kid with SPF 50, begging people to sign up for one (1) measly school event shift, or just trying not to melt into your car seat, this one’s for you.
☀️ In This Episode, We Rant About:
-
Sunscreen fails & surprise hives
(Why does every “tinted” product make us look like ghostly Oompa Loompas?)
-
Heatwave overstimulation and how sudden weather shifts totally derail ADHD routines
-
Volunteer sign-up chaos and why asking for help is a full-body experience
-
Hammock therapy and the joy of lying motionless in the shade
-
The invisible master list of adulting: Apparently weed killer has a schedule?
-
Summer planning burnout when you haven’t even switched out your sweaters yet
