MandaLea has a talent nobody asked for: getting sick exactly when her vacation days hit. In this episode of Below Your Average IQ Podcast, we unpack the ultimate “days-off downfall” — why the body waits until PTO to crash out, how unfair it feels, and what it says about work stress and burnout.
Then we switch gears and take a trip through MandaLea’s “worked-everywhere” era: the different jobs she’s held over the years, what each one taught her, the weirdest moments, and the unspoken rules you only learn after clocking in at a few places. Expect laughs, a little workplace therapy, and plenty of “no way that happened” stories.
Tap in for: vacation-day sickness chaos, job history highlights, work-life reality checks, and the kind of humor that makes your manager nervous.
