Hey, it’s Cait. This week, I sat down to record an episode with no outline, no bullet points—just a full heart and a messy brain. The only thing I knew was that I needed to talk about this idea that’s been chasing me down lately: What’s meant for you will not miss you. I wrote it on my whiteboard. And then I added: No exceptions. That part surprised me. Because if I really believed it, why would I...

What You’ll Hear in This Episode: This episode was recorded rising from the trenches—not in the middle of the mess, but in that wobbly moment just after, when your body’s still tired and your spirit isn’t fully convinced yet. I share a story I’ve never told before: The year I baked my own birthday cake while crying on the kitchen floor. Four hours from home. Alone. In a relationship I didn’t yet r...

This week, I said the quiet part out loud: I hate brushing my teeth. And apparently, I’m not the only one. In this episode of Chronically, Over It , I talk about the shame we carry over the “simple” things—like brushing our teeth, replying to a text, or taking a damn shower—and why they’re often not simple at all, especially if you’re neurodivergent or living in a chronically overstimulated body....

In today’s episode of Chronically, Over It, I’m getting real about that messy, terrifying, weirdly quiet place we all land in when we stop performing and start healing. Whether you just left a relationship, a job, or a version of yourself that used to keep you safe—you might be asking: Who even am I now? I talk about: The grief of becoming a softer, slower version of yourself How healing can make...

Together, we examine how fear often masquerades as confusion, and how embracing discomfort can lead us to deeper self-trust and clarity.

In today’s episode, Cait breaks down why both “scarcity” and “abundance” have become performance traps—especially when your nervous system is fried. This is for anyone who’s tried to gratitude-journal their way out of a panic spiral, who’s felt behind even while doing “all the right things,” and who’s wondering if maybe—just maybe—the whole mindset narrative is missing the point. You’ll learn how...

The Truth About Boundaries (It’s Not Just Saying No) AKA why you still feel like an asshole even when you're protecting your peace. You know that moment when you finally say “no”?Like, a real no. A no with your full chest. And instead of feeling empowered… you feel like you just ran over someone’s dog? Yeah. That. In this week’s episode of Chronically Over It , we’re pulling the curtain back on bo...

You are not a project. Episode Two of Chronically Over It is live. If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “Cool, now what do I do with THAT?” —same. Especially in therapy I can’t tell you how many times I feel like I can not work through one more trauma wound.

You ever spiral so subtly that it doesn’t even register as a spiral until you're elbow-deep in your Notes app, trying to cross-reference your childhood trauma with your current mood like you're prepping for an emotional thesis defense? Yeah. That was me this week. In this episode of Chronically Over It , I’m unpacking the sneakiest coping mechanism so many of us “emotionally intelligent” girlies f...

Episode One of Chronically Over It is live. This isn’t a podcast about personal branding pivots or “how I rebuilt my life in 5 steps” advice. It’s about being smack in the middle of the mess—mid-sob, mid-spiral, mid-unraveling—and choosing to show up anyway. In this first episode, I’m talking about the myth of having your shit together and why chasing that fantasy might actually be what’s making y...
