From Wall Street to Wiped Out: A Burnout Survival Guide

All Aboard the Hot Mess Express: Burnout, Breakdown & Patrice Bonfiglio

What do locked knees, a 100-pound dog, and a group text from hell have in common? According to Every Day’s a Train Wreck Episode 33, they’re all symptoms of something we’re not talking about nearly enough: burnout in high definition.

In this episode, Marley sits down with the incomparable Patrice Bonfiglio – Wall Street exec, President of Sarissa Capital Management, founder of Bonfiglio Media, and host of The Burnout Club podcast. Translation? She’s the overachiever’s overachiever. And also, someone who literally collapsed from pushing too hard. (While on vacation. The irony.)

Together, they rip the lid off the well-polished myth that burnout is just about work. Spoiler: it’s also about parenting, people-pleasing, the PTO email thread, and yes, pottery class that was supposed to be relaxing but left you wanting to scream into a clay slab.

Inside the episode:

• Why “rest” doesn’t fix a broken system (and might actually break you)
• The surprising way Patrice found recovery – by starting a burnout podcast
• How burnout shows up in the body (and what to do when it physically stops you)
• And the rise of the Hot Mess Express – a volunteer squad of recovering high-performers who will show up, clean your house, and hand you your sanity back

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re just “tired” or full-on crispy fried on the inside, this is your unfiltered permission slip to stop pretending you’ve got it all together.

📌 Takeaway: You don’t need more to-do lists. You need less of what’s slowly draining you – and maybe a friend with a mop.

🎧 Catch the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, and remember: you’re not a failure for falling apart. You’re a human. Probably a really tired one.
