Listen "Where’s the Adult I’m Supposed to Escalate This To?"
Episode Synopsis
When you’re the default adult in every space — at home, at work, in your family — there’s no “escalation path” for the overwhelm. It all lands on you.In this episode of Unmuted by Nola, I’m talking about the emotional and logistical weight of being “the one” everyone depends on, the quiet toll it takes, and what softening looks like when you’re maxed out. From potty training negotiations to wasp removal chaos, this one’s equal parts humor, honesty, and a gentle reminder that you’re not broken — you’re just carrying a lot.If you’ve ever stared at your calendar, your toddler, or your inbox and thought, “I can’t keep doing this like this,” this one’s for you.🎶 Music Credit:Tuesday Vibes by Snoozy Beatshttps://soundcloud.com/snoozybeatsCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: Audio LibraryMusic promoted by Audio Library on YouTube
