    Learn From Our Mistakes

    Send a message to the pod! We bounce from time blindness and everyday chaos into the surprisingly hard work of speaking up when money, family, and expectations collide. We share what we’re learning about confidence, boundaries, and how to advocate as a couple when a “gift” starts to feel like a bill.  • running late dynamics, time blindness, and repairing the vibe  • unexpected love for Panera breakfast sandwiches  • studio mishaps, spiders, and a highlight reel of weird bites and stings  • embarrassment versus avoidance, plus how we “project” confidence  • the consulting lesson that nobody fully knows what’s going on  • World Cup visitor content, U.S. scale shock, and why walking everywhere backfires  • our passenger rail rant and the infrastructure trade-offs  • parenting misstep of hyping plans too early, then managing heartbreak  • word of the week: ultra crepidarian  • Enneagram voicemail, why we like it, and why we refuse to be boxed in by it  • horoscope skepticism, being open to woo-woo, and why tarot sparks better conversations  • navigating in-laws when a wedding couch “gift” becomes a major expense  • setting the precedent early and letting your partner handle their own family communication  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/

    Untapped Potential and Nosebleeds

    Send a message to the pod! We bounce from chaotic daily life to the bigger ways the internet shapes what we watch, what we buy, and how we let ourselves be seen.

    Spiders in the Studio

    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, first birthday gifts that last, and what to do in Omaha.  Join us for: • A run of nonstop May and June schedules and why it leaves us wiped  • Spiders in the studio and an updated spider count  • Bloom Summer Splash and the awkwardness of liking influencer-marketed products  • Florida recap, sunscreen habits, and hating the feeling of being burnt  • The Volvo infotainment failure that kills blinkers and air conditioning  • Reset attempts, sticky-floor pit stop, and salvaging family photos  • A marriage moment on decision-making, accountability, and fear of disappointment  • Spencer Pratt in the LA mayoral race and why AI ads are about to be everywhere  • Bad Dad Mean Mom award for seven hours at a tiny airport with three kids  • Word of the week: dithering  • Listener email on a parent’s terminal cancer and when to lean on community support  • First birthday gift ideas with long-term value: play couch, Magna-Tiles, balance bike  • Omaha recs: zoo timing, College World Series, concerts, and more!
