Episode 50: FESTIVE BURNOUT! Why we love to hate the end of the year

Loading player...
This week on The Great Equalizer, Sam scares the bejesus out of her child (again), Charlene is done with birthday parties and we call a spade a spade. That's right, folks. We've had enough of December and we're calling BS on the festive season.

Can we all just admit that Christmas is hard and that the end of the year has us feeling like Luke Skywaylker in the trash compactor (if you know, you know).

The Mother Load never feels heavier than during the festive season and we unpack why burnout is at an all-time high.
