You also have sort of like institutional knowledge.

You know how to navigate the system.

What are some of the factors that are making it hard for most people to handle sandwiching?

Last week's show was about burnout at work, and we had the writer Jonathan Malesik on, and he had this really interesting definition of it.

Do you think that holds true for burnout when it comes to caring for the people you love, too?

At the rate things are going, those layers are just gonna keep multiplying.

That's next.

Support for Explain It To Me comes from Starbucks.

There's a palpable energy to storytelling, and it's an energy we harness to bring you a special series like this one.

With that in mind, it's worth remembering the little things we do in community to energize ourselves, like sharing a cool, brightly flavored drink over conversation under the afternoon sun.

It's a refreshing ritual that can be perfectly captured by the Starbucks new energy refresher.

It comes in great flavors.

Mango dragon fruit, strawberry acai, mango strawberry, plus a handful of tasty variations with lemonade or coconut milk, like the pink energy drink.

The point is, nobody is immune to a little slump in energy, especially in the afternoon.

The science is clear on that.

The key is remembering there's always a path forward to feeling renewed and re-energized.

Try the all new energy refreshers at Starbucks.

This is Explain It To Me.

So the sandwich generation is when you care for your kids and your parents.
