  1. The Quiet Grief of Becoming Someone You Don’t Recognize

    The Quiet Grief of Becoming Someone You Don’t Recognize

    I think one of the most confusing experiences a woman can go through is realizing the life she built no longer feels like her. Not because she isn’t grateful.Not because she failed.But because somewhere along the way, she became disconnected from herself while trying to survive, succeed, achieve, perform, and hold everything together. For years, I thought burnout was just stress.I thought exhaustion was the price of ambition.I thought rest had to be earned. But eventually I realized something deeper was happening: I had built an identity around who I thought I was supposed to be. This piece is about burnout, identity loss, nervous system exhaustion, heartbreak, and what it means to return to yourself after years of survival mode. For the woman quietly wondering:“When was the last time I actually felt like myself?” This is for you. Get full access to Overpour & Overshare by Mel at overpourandovershare.substack.com/subscribe

  2. I Thought Exhaustion Was Just Part of Being Successful

    I Thought Exhaustion Was Just Part of Being Successful

    For most of my adult life, I thought exhaustion was normal. I thought waking up anxious at 3am was normal.I thought eating lunch at my desk was normal.I thought being unable to relax unless everything was done was normal. I thought constantly pushing through exhaustion meant I was ambitious and from the outside, my life probably looked successful. Corporate leadership.Packed calendars.Early workouts.Productivity.Achievement.Always moving. But underneath all of it, my nervous system was overwhelmed. I didn’t know that at the time, of course. I just thought:“This is adulthood.”“This is responsibility.”“This is what high-achieving women do.” Until eventually my body forced me to pay attention. This week I released a Nervous System 101 lecture because I want more women to understand something I wish I had learned years earlier: Your body is not trying to sabotage you. It’s trying to protect you. It took me years to learn about what my nervous system was and how to regulate it and would have helped me avoid burn out.

    Overpour & Overshare: The Trailer

    Hi everyone. Welcome to Overpour & Overshare. I’m Mel, your host and this podcast is my diary. It’s an unfiltered space where I share my life: the highs, the lows, the messy, the awkward, and everything in between. I uprooted my whole world, went from New York corporate girlie with subway commutes to a barefoot yogi in Bali, all because I felt in my soul it was meant for me. Here, I’ll share stories of starting over, but also chapters from my past: divorce, cancer, dating disasters, self-discovery, and so much more. The kind of stuff that’s raw, relatable, and usually kept private. I don’t have it all figured out. Honestly, I’m figuring it out as I go and I want to bring you along for the ride. My hope is that by opening up my diary, you’ll feel a little less alone in your own story and maybe even laugh, cry, or get inspired to embrace your own messy magic. Some weeks it’ll just be me, talking straight into the mic about the real s**t that usually gets edited out. That’s the overshare. Other times, I’ll bring on guests, people who inspire me, challenge me, and have incredible stories to spill. And I’d love to hear from you, too. If you’ve got questions, topics you want me to dive into, or even a reason why you should come on as a guest, reach out. This isn’t just my diary, it’s a space we get to create together. So if you’re in your own season of starting over, or just looking for something real in a world full of highlight reels, this is for you. Subscribe to Overpour & Overshare wherever you get your podcasts, and let’s get into it. Get full access to Overpour & Overshare by Mel at overpourandovershare.substack.com/subscribe
