  Back to School and Basket Cases

  Aug 19, 20261h 1mS1

  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 real school routines and the stress of new systems • travelling for a Sonic fall campaign and navigating on-set nerves • fact-checking dry shampoo fear, benzene headlines and how misinformation spreads • how AI search crawlers miss reliable sources and why “AI generated” labels confuse people • the Wicker trailer discourse, memes and why whimsy feels rare • Word of the Week: Muckrake • college transition advice, making friends by showing up and using campus resources • family gossip dynamics, emotional labour and opting out of holidays without guilt If you've got a thought to share or are looking for a bit of advice on something, leave us a voicemail at the link below! https://www.speakpipe.com/overthinkingpod If you'd like to message us you can use the email below or the text link at the top overthinking@theoverbys.com CONNECT: TikTok: @jojohnsonoverby / @matt.overby Instagram: @jojohnsonoverby / @matt.overby Website: https://jojohnsonoverby.com/

  True Crime and the Mandela Baby

  Aug 12, 20261h 1mS1

  Send a message to the pod! We bounce from an undisclosed last-minute work trip to the everyday realities of sleep debt, screen time and what it feels like to be “on” all the time. Then we dig into true crime discourse, postpartum mental health, and listener questions about infertility support and the pressure of deciding whether to have another child. This week we talk: • why reading lines on camera feels unnatural even when conversation feels easy • sleep guilt, health consequences and the screen time receipts • Lindsay Clancy case, postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis, and why “having help” misses the point • how online theories turn uncertainty into certainty and why that can get unhealthy fast • the first class upgrade glitch and why travel can wreck sleep • hosting friends, stocked-fridge hospitality and the ambivert question • word of the week and why we hate small talk • infertility and friendship, asking directly for support without sounding accusatory • deciding on one child versus another, timing postpartum and the emotional baggage we bring to the choice If you've got a thought to share or are looking for a bit of advice on something, leave us a voicemail at the link below! https://www.speakpipe.com/overthinkingpod If you'd like to message us you can use the email below or the text link at the top overthinking@theoverbys.com CONNECT: TikTok: @jojohnsonoverby / @matt.overby Instagram: @jojohnsonoverby / @matt.overby Website: https://jojohnsonoverby.com/

  Digressions And Rabbit Holes

  Aug 5, 202622 minS1

  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!

  Worth It or Not Worth It

  Jul 29, 202653 minS1

  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. We also dig into what’s truly worth spending money on, what’s overhyped, and how to navigate family boundaries when you’re a young couple making adult choices. This week we get into: • recording rhythm, tiredness, and why skipping breakfast backfires • listening back to ourselves, tone, and the intent versus impact problem • corporate communication norms and why directness can feel abrasive • leadership versus mentoring, hands off management, and discomfort with confrontation • birthday updates, the Dairy Queen power outage cake scramble, and self tanner before an event • ADHD time blindness, clean slate thinking, and why milestones trigger reflection • “worth the money” picks, cost per use logic, and where we happily spend • “not worth it” picks, skincare hype, and choosing sleep and water as low hanging fruit • backyard garden maintenance, herbicide concerns, and farm family context • bad dad and mean mom moments, guilt around missed bedtimes and shortcuts • word of the week “folderol” and why it fits • listener questions, video game loot pockets, and our default “fit” • advice on living together in college, parental financial support, boundaries, and consequences If you've got a thought to share or are looking for a bit of advice on something, leave us a voicemail at the link below! https://www.speakpipe.com/overthinkingpod If you'd like to message us you can use the email below or the text link at the top overthinking@theoverbys.com CONNECT: TikTok: @jojohnsonoverby / @matt.overby Instagram: @jojohnsonoverby / @matt.overby Website: https://jojohnsonoverby.com/

  The Supreme Court v. Tomatoes

  Jul 22, 202655 minS1

  Send a message to the pod! We jump from caffeine to what it looks like to support each other without taking on each other’s panic. We also dig into parenting language, reality TV culture, and practical listener questions about personal growth and freelance money. Join us this week for: • caffeine, sleep quality, and the ADHD-shaped urge to chase stimulants • how we handle stress differently in marriage and try not to enmesh • why we try to remove words like stupid from our home vocabulary • a parenting stance on exposure, context, and not using language at people • life updates, sewing projects, garden hornworms, and the fruit vs vegetable rabbit hole • Love Island follower growth, post-show content strategy, and “owning the edit” • discomfort with reality TV incentives, humiliation as entertainment, and money’s power • word of the week: susurrus, a whispering or rustling sound • advice on personal growth with a partner and the reality of little-kid seasons • freelance budgeting tips: plan to your floor, build a float account, use quarterly bonuses, consider a line of credit carefully If you've got a thought to share or are looking for a bit of advice on something, leave us a voicemail at the link below! https://www.speakpipe.com/overthinkingpod If you'd like to message us you can use the email below or the text link at the top overthinking@theoverbys.com CONNECT: TikTok: @jojohnsonoverby / @matt.overby Instagram: @jojohnsonoverby / @matt.overby Website: https://jojohnsonoverby.com/
