Overthinking with the Overbys

Send a message to the pod! We juggle a week of nonstop travel, Halloween hosting, and the weird fatigue that hits when life gets loud all at once.

Send a message to the pod! We juggle voting, grief, travel, and peak fall chaos while trying to keep our home and kids going in the same direction.

Send a message to the pod! We dash from running motivation and discomfort tolerance to a viral Kelly Clarkson customer service blow-up, then land on the personality data that explains how we actually operate as a couple.

Send a message to the pod! We’re running on no sleep after our kid’s ear infection turns into a ruptured eardrum, and we use the exhaustion to talk honestly about disappointment, pressure and what resilience actually looks like. From creatine and cognitive recovery to tarot themed friendships and jealousy triggers, we keep coming back to one idea: you can’t control outcomes, but you can control yo...

Send a message to the pod! We start with family catchphrases and accidental awkwardness and wander into the strange social rules of being online, where a checkmark can be a punishment and everyone assumes everything is an ad.

Send a message to the pod! We bounce from music and internet culture into the real work of being partners, especially when our brains solve problems in totally different ways.

Send a message to the pod! We bounce from awkward internet searches and binge-watching True Blood to the surprisingly serious stuff hiding under everyday banter.

Send a message to the pod! We kick things off talking about ADHD hyperfocus, sewing wins to, and the relationship friction that shows up when one of us goes full tunnel vision and the other has to remain flexible. Then we zoom out into confidence versus certainty, masculinity and misogyny, influencer stardom, and a listener story that turns an ad controversy into a real conversation about defensiv...

Send a message to the pod! We bounce from tiny tattoos and at-home haircuts to the dark side of viral media, then land on listener questions that demand real boundaries and real care. We keep coming back to the same idea: clear communication and basic literacy matter more than people want to admit, especially when everything is amplified online.  This week we get into: • getting first tattoos at a...

Send a message to the pod! This week we go from silly daily-life updates to a real talk on how mental health gets judged online and offline, especially when postpartum depression does not “look” the way strangers expect. We share what pathological demand avoidance feels like from the inside, how ADHD medication and therapy have shifted things in our marriage, and how we try to build healthier tool...

Send a message to the pod! We catch up on the chaos of a new kindergarten routine, a sweaty late-night recording, and a behind-the-scenes Sonic shoot that proves memorising lines is harder than it looks. Then we shift into internet misinformation, messy AI labels, and two listener questions where we get serious about change, mental health, and boundaries.  Join us as we get into: • adjusting to re...

Send a message to the pod! This week I was left alone with a mic, a baby monitor, and a brain that refuses to stay on one track, so we're going to lean into it. Join me for a tour through hyperfixation, the messy reality of being a tinkerer, and the fine line where curiosity turns into clutter. Jo will be back next week so if this wasn't your thing we'll see you then! If you've...

Send a message to the pod! We bounce from everyday logistics to how authenticity lands in different rooms and how birthdays can mess with your sense of progress.

Send a message to the pod! We jump from sleep deprived chaos to big questions about memory, ambition, and what we owe each other in a partnership.

Send a message to the pod! We start with summer chaos, sore bodies, and a legendary DIY slip and slide, then spiral into online drama that unexpectedly turns into a real talk about food access and how systems shape daily life.

Send a message to the pod! We start with unfiltered body talk, then tumble into everything from blood donation questions to why learning on the fly can or can't beat traditional school. The heart of the conversation lands on sewing a Pride outfit, what perfectionism is really trying to protect, and why showing up visibly for our community matters more than we think.  • periods and feeling diz...

Send a message to the pod! We limp home from Florida after our Volvo’s screen goes dark and somehow takes the AC and turn signals with it, forcing a last-minute scramble, a photo pivot, and some honest talk about pressure and disappointment. Then we go chronically online about the LA mayoral race and AI political ads before answering listener questions on asking for help during terminal illness, f...

Send a message to the pod! We start things out with a talk about pain tolerance, strength training myths, and how our bodies change as we age.
