Episode #77
When Work Gets the Best of You—and Your Family Gets What’s Left
You clock out. You leave the office. You shut the laptop. But did you actually leave work behind? In this episode of The Corporate Burnouts , Mandy Holt and Mandy Alt talk about what happens when work starts changing the person you are at home. Maybe you’re more irritable. You have less patience. You’re mentally somewhere else. Your family knows not to bother you after a bad day, or the people you love are consistently getting whatever energy you have left after work takes the rest. And sometimes, you don’t even realize it’s happening. The Mandys unpack how work stress follows us home, why the people closest to us are often the easiest to shortchange, and how constant venting, checking emails, taking calls, and carrying workplace drama into your personal life can slowly affect your relationships—and you. They also talk about realistic ways to create a transition between work you and home you , even if quitting your job or changing your schedule isn’t an option. And they leave you with two questions worth sitting with: Who do you want the people you love to remember you as during this season of your life? And… What is prioritizing work this way costing you? Because your job already gets a huge portion of your life. It doesn’t have to get all of you, too.
