    how to get out of a rut
    Aug 14 2025
    i used to think i was better than burnout. then i hit rock bottom. being a perfectionist is exhausting. who are you outside of your job? just say no. say no as much as possible. sometimes i get overwhelmed by my ideas. are you burnt out or creatively uninspired? don’t create if you don’t feel creative. celebrate the small wins. diversify your life. gyms are boring. clean your f*cking house!!! write sh*t down. crossing something off my to-do list makes me horny. i hope this ep helps youFollow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

    i started reading a book to avoid therapy and now i’m in therapy. i act like a human doing and not a human being. what if the best case scenario happens? if i didn’t ask for your advice don’t give it to me lol. repeating myself is my pet peeve. brooklinen european linen sheets may have just saved my life. that’s show biz! i’m addicted to sunset swims. find yourself some low maintenance friends. i don’t cook but i have a saved collection of zero waist baking videos… i walk my dogs in a stroller. who can watch an entire movie in one sitting?? elderly women scare me. they should have doubled her dose!! I’m alllll for tricking the brain. just wear things that make you happy!!! i’m ending friendships with this IG hack. jealousy is a normal feeling just don’t act on it. oops i’m burnt out.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

    it's not every day you get to chat with a unicycle-riding, triathlete engineer. a conversation about creative overwhelm, multi-hyphenate fatigue, niching down, burnout, redefining success outside the algorithm, authenticity on the internet, confidence and a whole bunch of other like, really cool and interesting topics, or whatever. if you happen to watch this episode, pls count how many times she sticks her tongue out and report back. don’t look at our notes app. she almost burnt her hair off on my candle sos I need office insurance!!! would you rather get cancelled for something you didn’t do or go viral for something that completely misrepresents you? idk just listen to the episode lol.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=enFollow Anna:https://www.instagram.com/annaxsitar/https://www.tiktok.com/@annaxsitarhttps://www.youtube.com/@annaxsitar Learn more about your ad choices.

    embarrassing myself in front of ray romano, losing the plot & cancelling my dream trip
    Jul 17 2025
    i met ray romano and he might send me a subpoena. my networking style is avoidance. why do we go to brunch after a wedding? this will forever haunt me. there’s nothing more embarrassing than yelling ‘on your left’ on a bike. a dad gave me a piece of gauze. am I putting off my happiness??? i feel like i’m floating through space. i had to cancel my dream trip. there’s only so much in your control. i lost myself for a little. what’s the point of life if you’re just trying to get to the next thing? i’m a f*cking poet.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

    mental health awareness? oh I’m AWARE.
    Jul 3 2025
    the diary of a highly sensitive girly. I started reading a book send help sos. sometimes I feel like I’m better at performing life than experiencing it. I have a running tab of trauma and that bill is EXPENSIVE. not having an aesthetic is still an aesthetic. being a deep feeler is exhausting. my nervous system is wired to process things so intensely. no that wasn’t whiplash, it was just the sudden shift of my emotions lol xoxo. say no when you’re saturated. I don’t experience moments, I absorb them so hunny, I’m TIRED. you’re not behind, you’re just in a different chapter. milestones aren’t always the same as fulfillment.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.
