How to Overcome Burnout | Queer Money Ep. 506 May 14, 2024

Show notes

In a society that endorses hustle culture, burnout is common.

But conventional advice on how to overcome burnout is inadequate. A meditation app, yoga class or scented candle won’t undo the chronic exposure to stress that’s behind our exhaustion.

So, how do we identify what’s triggering our stress? And what can we do to reverse our symptoms of burnout?

Piggy and Kitty (otherwise known as Jess Fickett and Lauren Torres) are the award-winning bloggers and podcasting team behind Bitches Get Riches, a platform that helps young people become competent adults in their finances, careers and personal lives.

They are also the creators of The Burnout Workshop, a self-guided course designed to empower students to recognize what’s triggering their burnout and design a concrete plan for change.

On this episode of Queer Money, Jess and Lauren join us to explain what happens to us physiologically when we experience consistent, ongoing exposure to high levels of stress.

Jess and Lauren explain why institutional or systemic factors make you more prone to burnout than personal factors, challenging us to use our privilege to get rid of burnout culture in the workplace.

Listen in for insight on maintaining a high quality of life while pursuing your goals and learn how Jess and Lauren’s Burnout Workshop can help you overcome burnout for a healthier, happier life!

Top 5 Most Affordable, LGBTQ+ Friendly Cities in Red States | Queer Money Ep. 501 Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

It's pretty easy to bash conservative states as members of the LGBTQ+ community when we see many of these states enacting laws against us. Yet, did you know that almost one-third of LGBTQ+ adults in the U.S. live in a Red State? There are many reasons that some folks may choose to stay or move to one of these Red States, one of which may be affordability and because they lack the financial privilege it takes to move to another state.

With that in mind, we've mined our data on affordable LGBTQ+ friendly cities and have come up with the top 5 most affordable cities in Red states.

This is Queer Money episode #501. Today, we’re diving into 5 affordable cities in Red states that are great spots for LGBTQ folks.
