Ep. 9: Is Authenticity Becoming Performative? The Truth About Social Media, Vulnerability & Going Viral

Is authenticity online actually authentic anymore? In this episode of Probably Most Definitely Overthinking This, Kami and Melissa unpack the blurry line between being genuinely yourself and performing authenticity for an audience. From crying videos and curated vulnerability to viral content, personal branding, and the pressure to always be “real,” this conversation gets honest about what authenticity actually looks like in today’s social media world. We explore the difference between connection and validation, why not everything needs an audience to be meaningful, the truth about chasing viral content, and what authentic marketing really means when you’re building a business or personal brand. We also dive into processing life publicly vs. privately, emotional boundaries online, and why sustainable connection will always outperform performative attention. If you’ve ever questioned what’s real online or caught yourself overthinking how you show up... this episode is for you.

Why Aren’t We Happy Yet? | Overthinking Happiness

What if happiness isn’t something you achieve… but something you allow yourself to experience? In this episode, Kami and Melissa unpack the pressure so many of us feel to “finally be happy” once we hit the next goal, make more money, lose the weight, build the business, heal the trauma, or become more confident. But what happens when you get there… and still don’t feel the way you thought you would? This conversation dives into overthinking happiness, nervous system safety, childhood experiences, expectations, emotional triggers, entrepreneurship, self-sabotage, and the exhausting cycle of always moving the finish line. From deeply personal stories to honest reflections about success, relationships, achievement, and emotional safety — this episode is a reminder that maybe happiness was never supposed to look perfect or cinematic. Sometimes happiness is slower than that. Sometimes it’s coffee in silence. A calm nervous system. A home-cooked meal. A moment where your brain finally stops scanning for the next problem. And maybe… that’s enough. Welcome back to Probably Most Definitely Overthinking This.

Ep. 7 : The Thought That Won’t Leave You Alone

Episode 7: The Thought That Won’t Leave You Alone Why do some thoughts refuse to let go? In this episode of Probably Most Definitely Overthinking This, we talk about the mental spirals that start small and somehow turn into full-blown emotional documentaries in our heads. From overthinking taxes, delegation, awkward conversations, social media, business decisions, relationships, and life transitions… we unpack what it actually feels like to live with a brain that won’t stop thinking. We dive into: • entrepreneur brain & decision fatigue • imposter syndrome • anxiety vs intuition • mental blocks & overwhelm • why smart people overthink • fear of getting things wrong • overthinking as protection • learning to show up anyway We also share some very real (and slightly chaotic) stories about job interviews, SAT tests, business ownership, emotional overwhelm, shower thoughts, and the random spirals our brains create out of absolutely nothing. If your brain has ever convinced you that one text message, one decision, or one unfinished task meant your entire life was falling apart… this episode is for you.

Ep. 6: The Moment You Decide to Try

We say we’re “trying” all the time… but are we actually trying or just thinking about it? In this episode, we unpack what trying really looks like in real life. Not the polished version. The messy, uncomfortable, sometimes hilarious version where you either take the step… or talk yourself out of it. We get into: * The difference between fake trying vs. real trying * How overthinking keeps you stuck in “almost” * Why confidence doesn’t come first - action does * The split-second moment where everything can change * What trying actually looks like in business, relationships, and everyday life We share real stories, call ourselves out (a lot), and remind you that trying doesn’t mean changing your whole life overnight… It means doing one thing differently today. Because at the end of the day - you’re either doing it… or you’re not.

Ep.5: What If You’re Not Actually Behind? | Stop Comparing & Start Trusting Your Own Timeline

Do you ever feel like everyone else is ahead of you? Like they launched faster, built bigger, figured it out sooner and somehow you’re still trying to catch up? In this episode, we’re talking about the pressure of timelines, comparison, and the exhausting belief that you’re somehow behind in life. From business growth and money to relationships and personal goals, we unpack where that feeling comes from and why it might not actually be true. Because maybe you’re not behind. Maybe you’re just building your life differently. This is the episode for anyone who feels like they should be further along by now.
