S3E6: What If Work Was Never The Problem (Jess Thots Vol. 8)
Episode 6
Monday, 1 December, 2025

Buckle up, fam... In a rare reincarnation of the original Jess solo ramble (i.e. Jess Thots), our girl is back with a vengeance, stream of conscious-ing her way through several meaty topics. An analysis of her love of corporate content turns into a good long look in the mirror about her relationship to work/life balance and results in a realization that she did not expect. Along the way, she reflects on her learnings from conversations with her five amazing guests this season, as Peaking Season 3 comes to a necessary close (albeit perhaps an abrupt halt, depending on who you ask). Jess is burning out and it's neither work nor the podcast's fault, yet somehow it's also both, so needless to say she's gotta figure that out. It won't take her that long - talk sooner than you think, boo fam <3 Chicago boos!
