Episode 15: Restless life syndrome... IS THIS A THING?

If there’s one word that really resonates with Abby, it’s restless.


Thankfully, she doesn’t have restless leg syndrome (that she knows of), though she feels for anyone who does. But she does for sure have restless life syndrome, a phrase she discovered while reading one of Nora McInerny’s newsletters.


In this episode, we explore what restless life syndrome means, how it’s showing up in Abby’s life, and what we can do to combat it.


Plus:

  • The best name to call Abby’s brother
  • A deep-dive into the joy and pressure of gift giving
  • Our philosophy on giving books as presents
  • ...and more!

And, of course, here are links to everything we mentioned in the episode:
