Ep181 The One More Thing Trap
Jun 02, 2026 Season 18 Episode 9
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu

Your calendar is full, your body is tired, and then a shiny new opportunity shows up and whispers, just add one more thing. Besties Angella and Leslie know that voice well, and they’re putting it on the table with zero filter. 

From last-chance travel plans before a major move to the impulse to stack “productive” tasks on top of family time, they trace how overcommitment gets dressed up as responsibility, ambition, or “making the most of it.”
