This week, we’re talking about why so many of us spend Monday through Friday just trying to survive until the weekend, only to cram errands, friendships, rest, hobbies, and actual living into two short days. We discuss how work culture has normalized giving our jobs the best hours of our lives, why adulthood can start to feel repetitive and emotionally draining, and the small ways we can reclaim our time during the week. From spending more intentional time with friends to building routines that make weekdays feel meaningful again, this episode is about creating a life you don’t constantly need a weekend escape from.
