Graduation season isn’t just for graduates. It’s for all of us. It has a way of making us stop and ask: Am I living the life I thought I would? And is it still the life I want now?

In this episode of Aren't Ya Tired Of?, we unpack the graduation advice that still matters. Mark and Patti talk about graduation memories, life’s “cliff moments,” pressure to have it all figured out, what we’re really wired to do, and what we’d say to our younger selves - now that we’ve lived a little more life.

Because maybe it’s not too late to reset your direction, rethink what matters, or stop being so hard on yourself. No cap and gown required.

You show up for everyone else—but are you always at the bottom of your own list?

In this episode of Aren’t Ya Tired Of…?, Patti and Mark explore the habits and patterns of always putting yourself last—and the toll it takes on you. What looks like helpfulness or dependability can actually be driven by extreme responsibility, guilt, approval-seeking, and the pressure to make everything perfect - often at your own expense.

They break down how to recognize it, why it matters, and what to do about it—so you can stop running on empty and start showing up differently.

Because if nothing changes, you pay the price.

What does The Devil Wears Prada teach us about bad managers?

In this episode of Aren’t Ya Tired Of…, Patti and Mark break down the profiles of the difficult managers—from the “Miranda Priestly” moody bully to micromanagers, credit takers, non-decision makers, and the conflict avoiders.

They unpack the most common bad manager behaviors—unclear expectations, control, lack of feedback, and workplace stress—to determine what’s really driving them and what to do about it. They share practical strategies and ideas to help you navigate a bad manager, keep your confidence, and stay in control of your career.

Because the real question isn’t just “Why are they like this?”
It’s “What do I do about it?”

If you’ve ever wondered, “How can I deal with this manager?" —this episode is for you
