Overheard in My Head

Hi! In this short episode, I’m giving you a little life and podcast update. I’ve decided to slow down Overheard in My Head and move to one episode a month while I focus more of my time and energy on studying for the LSAT and working toward my goal of getting into law school. The podcast isn’t going anywhere. I genuinely love making it, I love the creative process, and I love having this little spa...

In this episode, I’m talking about the lessons I’m still learning—even the ones I thought I had already figured out. I reflect on love, healing, slowing down, attachment, and the ways our past experiences can shape what we think relationships are supposed to feel like. Sometimes growth isn't about learning something completely new; it's about being reminded of something you already know an...

After everything I've learned from past relationships, heartbreak, and being single again, I've been thinking a lot about what I actually will—and won't—accept in my next relationship. In this episode, I go through my dating dealbreakers: from communication, emotional intelligence, ambition, and consistency to boundaries, honesty, values, politics, lifestyle, and the way someone treats...

For a long time, I thought finding the right relationship would make my life feel complete. Now, I'm realizing that's not the goal. Before my next relationship, there are things I want for myself—not because they'll make me more "worthy" of love, but because they'll make my life fuller, richer, and more fulfilling regardless of whether I'm single or not. In this episode...

There comes a point where it feels like everyone else is moving on without you. Engagements. Weddings. Babies. New homes. Career milestones. Meanwhile, you're wondering if you're somehow behind. In this episode, I talk about the pressure of approaching 30 while being single, the invisible timelines we compare ourselves to, and how social media can make it feel like everyone has life figure...

After heartbreak, it's easy to question everything—including yourself. Are you noticing a genuine red flag, or is your anxiety trying to protect you from getting hurt again? How do you tell the difference between intuition and fear? In this episode, I explore the complicated relationship between attachment, anxiety, and intuition. We talk about why past experiences can make us hyper-aware of r...

After months of replaying my relationship in my head, I started asking myself a question I hadn't considered before: Was I love bombed? In this episode, I unpack what love bombing actually is, the signs that made me question my own experience, and why it's so difficult to tell the difference between genuine excitement and unhealthy intensity. I reflect on the early stages of my relationshi...

Why do some people stay in our minds long after they've left our lives? In this episode, I reflect on a recent moment that sent me spiraling after seeing a new photo of my ex—and the realization that followed. After months of processing, grieving, and trying to understand what happened, I started asking myself a different question: what am I still holding onto? I talk about the fear of letting...

What does it actually mean to be feminine? After watching a conversation on Love Island USA, I started thinking about how differently women experience femininity. Some of us are taught to be tough. Some of us wish we were softer. Some feel too emotional, while others struggle to express emotion at all. In this episode, I explore the many ways women relate to femininity, vulnerability, strength, co...

In this episode, I talk about the quiet, lonely side of healing — the part nobody really sees. The part where you still have to go to work, answer texts, pay bills, keep up with responsibilities, and somehow continue living your life while your heart is breaking in private. I read Reddit stories about healing from heartbreak alone and reflect on how healing often isn’t dramatic or inspiring — it’s...

I’ve been realizing how much of my emotional world revolved around relationships, validation, and being chosen — and after this breakup, I started questioning who I even am outside of all of that. In this episode, I talk about losing yourself in relationships, why heartbreak can leave you feeling disconnected from your identity, and why I’m choosing not to date right now. I dive into wanting to be...

I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of “the one that got away” — and whether that person was actually the one … or just someone I couldn’t fully let go of. In this episode, I talk about why unfinished endings hit so hard, the ego wounds that come with heartbreak, and why I no longer believe in “right person, wrong time.” Because if someone was truly right for you, would they have left you conf...

I can finally say I’m starting to feel better… but I’m also not the same. In this episode, I talk about where I’m at in my healing right now — feeling more stable, more clear, but still learning and processing everything that happened. I dive into the idea that we accept the love we think we deserve, and how easy it is to settle for less when you’re emotionally attached or hoping someone will chan...

I kept hearing “focus on yourself”… but no one really explains what that actually looks like when you’re still heartbroken. In this episode, I talk about what it’s been like to start pouring into myself after my breakup — not in a perfect, “I’m healed” kind of way, but in small, real, everyday ways that have helped me feel a little more grounded. From getting back into the gym and building routine...

I still think about him… but I don’t reach out. In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to start de-centering men. Not in theory, but in real life, while you’re still healing. I share the small ways I’ve been choosing myself again: getting back into my routines, going to the gym, spending time with friends, journaling, and starting this podcast. Not because I’m fully “over it,” b...

After a breakup, the hardest part isn’t always missing them — it’s stopping yourself from going back to what hurt you. In this episode, I read and reflect on Reddit posts about post-breakup boundaries and how people learn to protect their peace while still emotionally processing everything. We talk about the “rules” that actually help you move forward, from no-contact to emotional detachment, and...

In this episode, I open up about my breakup, what led to it, and how I’ve been navigating the emotional aftermath. From moments of progress to unexpected emotional setbacks, this is what healing actually looks like in real time. I also dive into Reddit stories about healing not being linear and avoidant behavior — and why moving on isn’t as straightforward as we want it to be. If you’ve ever felt...

What do you do when you can’t stop thinking about someone… but you know you have to move on? Overheard in My Head  is a real-time look at heartbreak, healing, and everything that comes with trying to let go. In this podcast, I share my own thoughts and experiences while also diving into relatable Reddit stories that somehow say exactly what we’re all feeling. This isn’t a “how to heal” podcast — i...
