Episode Description:
In this highly caffeinated and barely functioning episode, Sarah and Erika are joined by the fabulous author, Meg Becker, whose life is just as chaotic as her spicy romance novels. 🤯 Between writing full time in her evenings and weekends, road trips that,,,, test marriages, and surviving the male-dominated world of construction, Meg gives us a totally normal glimpse into her everyday life (spoiler: it’s not normal). 😅
Oh, and did we mention the deep dive into micro-feminism, creepy customers, and unhinged conference encounters? Yeah, it’s that kind of episode. Buckle up for some serious LOLs and sarcastic rants as we all try to figure out what the heck is going on. 💁♀️💃
Things to Look for in This Episode:
Energy drinks, lost sleep, and packing panic at 3 AM. 🕒Men who ask women to "sing Soft Kitty" 😒 (we know, gross).Feminist mic drops. 🎤💥A conspiracy theory about Stephen King and Elvis' ghost? 👀Wild road trip rants (and why you should always pray for Meg's husband).It’s a mess, but it’s our mess. Join the chaos! 😎

🎙️ Welcome back to another episode of *Living Understaffed* – the podcast for everyone who *never* has enough hands or hours in the day. In this episode, Sarah and Erika take us on a wild ride through overstuffed plates (metaphorically, but also literally), "relaxing" weekends, and the eternal debate between productivity and naps. 🛋️💤 Spoiler alert: Naps usually win. 😏
Sarah’s *shocking* revelation: "I don’t feel wildly overwhelmed right now." 🤯 Trust us, no one was more surprised than she was. Erika, meanwhile, is dealing with her own mini-chaos, like walking into the office in baggy jeans, no bra, and a crop top—because obviously, she thought she was going to be *alone* (classic understaffed move). 🙈
But that’s not all! We also dive into some seriously questionable romance novel euphemisms. Velvet-wrapped steel? Apex of her thighs? No, thanks. 🚫 We’re sending those tropes “straight to jail.” 🚓👋
Key moments include:
- 📦 Moving into a new house (but definitely ignoring the *to be organized* boxes).
- 😴 "I could knock out podcast editing... OR I could go home and take a nap." Guess which one won?
- 📚 Bad romance novel euphemisms you’ll wish you could unhear.
- 🧠 Managing anxiety, ADHD, and the constant voice in your head that screams, "You forgot something!"
- ✨ Overall, #getbetter
So, if you're feeling a little overwhelmed and need some laughs (and maybe a nap), grab your favorite snack and tune in. And don’t forget to *leave a review*—we’re small, we’re growing, and we live for your feedback (even if it’s not a 5-star, but we mean... why wouldn’t it be?). 😘 ✨ Like, subscribe, and share the Understaffed love! ✨

Welcome back, chaos enthusiasts! This week, our hosts Sarah and Erika are living their best *understaffed* lives, which apparently includes Sarah almost missing this recording because she was busy being a part-time mover, full-time mess. 🏠🚗💨 And Erika? Well, she’s just back from Washington and drowning in family drama, jet lag, and the realization that kids these days have zero chill—especially when demanding steak dinners from "frail" Nana. 🥩😂
👩💻💤 Sick days, worst first dates, and spontaneous bang-cutting decisions (yes, bangs) are all up for discussion. And if you’re wondering how Sarah and Erika met? It was love at first book. 📚❤️
