Episode 55: Feel the Burnout with Anne Helen Petersen

“Giving [burnout] a name liberated me to do things that I really wanted to do.” — Anne Helen Petersen

This week, Doree and Kate do a product check-in and discuss the skincare and makeup stuff they’re into right now. Plus, Kate tries to master meal planning, Doree continues her closet purge, and they get heated about 90’s diet fads and low-fat foods.

Then they welcome Anne Helen Petersen, author, journalist, and senior culture writer at Buzzfeed News. She discusses her viral essay, “How Millennials Became The Burnout Generation”, the performance aspect of social media, and the pressure that can come with indulging in self-care.
