Kicking off our brand-new Women in Mythology Series, Erika and Sarah dive headfirst into chaos, crows, and the eternal struggle of Irish pronunciations.
Erika is busy being understaffed but still a princess (don’t even THINK about taking away her second monitor), while Sarah is thriving on a healthy cocktail of ✨avoidance, anxiety, and projectile vomiting✨. Together, they spiral into work woes, moving-to-Texas dread, and their mom’s wildly questionable dating decisions (yes, there was a van… with a bed… we’ll never recover).
But because we’re nothing if not accidentally educational, we dive into the mythology of The Morrígan—Ireland’s most badass chaos goddess—who basically invented “main character energy.” 👑🪦⚔️
Special shoutout to Nicola Bardon from Tis Yourself Podcast for helping us attempt (and fail) to unf*ck our Irish pronunciations. Nicola, you’re doing the goddess’s work, and we owe you a pint. 🍻🇮🇪

So grab your journal (yes, we made one, and yes, you should buy it), laugh at our mispronunciations, and prepare for chaos. Because if you’re not screaming into the void like a banshee, are you even Living Understaffed?
