Description

Writer, performer, and YouTuber Maggie Mae Fish joins us to talk about financial survival, burnout, and the hard-earned lessons of giving up hustle culture. We unpack the toll of having five jobs, the shame of rest, the fear of slowing down—and why stability doesn’t magically erase anxiety.




Every episode, we save the most surprising, unfiltered stories for our Patreon. In this week’s bonus segment, Maggie Mae Fish tells us what happened when she dared to criticize Zack Snyder on YouTube. Let’s just say… the fanbase had thoughts. Subscribe at patreon.com/pastdue to hear the full clip, get early access, bonus episodes, and a little solidarity in this chaotic creative economy.
