09 - Ambition, Anxiety and Absurd Names for Private Parts
Living Understaffed
09/11/24 • 65 min
🎙️ 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! ✨

Living Understaffed
08/28/24 • 71 min
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. 📚❤️

10 - Doors, Deadlines & Dealing with Dudes Who Can't Handle a 'No'
Living Understaffed
09/25/24 • 90 min
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! 😎

13 - Overthinking, Overachieving & Our Favorite Toxic Traits
Living Understaffed
11/06/24 • 57 min
Welcome to Lucky Episode 013 of the Living Understaffed podcast, where Sarah and Erika hilariously unravel another week of chaos and coping (mostly). Did we mention our “luck” in that we recording this episode 3 different times before it actually took?
From being baffled by mysterious laptop liquid ("The repair shop told me it smelled like Chinese food, but I haven’t even had Chinese food!" 🍜) to avoiding those 15-minute tasks that somehow get put off for weeks, the duo keeps it real, raw, and relatable.
This time, we're diving into our favorite toxic traits and trying (unsuccessfully) to accept compliments without imploding. Sarah and Erika are “experts” at juggling work, podcasting, and laundry piles—just don’t ask them to do it on time! 🤷♀️
And now for those very exciting announcements: Starting today, we’re going weekly! 🎉 We’re also launching our very own Discord server—join us to chat all things understaffed, overwhelmed, and overtired. And because we clearly don’t have enough on our plates, we’re kicking off a monthly Understaffed Book Club. Who doesn’t need one more thing to juggle, right? 📚✨
Featured Promo is with our newest friend, Sarah Wilson, host of Everything’s Messy Podcast. Check out her website for more info!

Note from Sarah: My sincere apologies posting the episode late again. Coming off leave for 2 weeks has been very stressful, nonstop and I'm still a little under the weather. Thank you so very much for being so patient with me and I hope you enjoy the episode.
