By: Kiki B

Overthinkers Anonymous is a podcast for people who think deeply, replay conversations, and live a little too much in their heads. Each episode is a calm, honest conversation about overthinking — the thoughts we get stuck on, the emotions underneath them, and how to understand our minds without trying to “fix” ourselves. This isn’t about toxic positivity or shutting your thoughts down. It’s about slowing them down, talking them through, and realizing you’re not alone. If you struggle with second-guessing, self-doubt, decision fatigue, or mental overwhelm — this space is for you. New episodes offer reflection, gentle insight, and the kind of co...

The pressure of “I Should Be “
#13
Last Sunday at 8:52 PM

“I should be doing more.”
“I should be further along.”
“I should have figured this out by now.”
Those thoughts sound normal… but they get heavy.
In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet pressure of “should” — and how it slowly builds into stress, guilt, and overthinking without us even realizing it.
Because it’s not just one thought…
it’s a constant feeling that you’re somehow behind.

If you’ve ever felt like no matter what you do, it’s not enough…
or like you’re measuring yourself against some invisible timeline…


The stories we tell ourselves!
#12
04/20/2026

Sometimes it’s not what’s actually happening…
it’s the story we’re telling ourselves about it.

In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, we’re talking about inner narratives — the quiet voice in our head that tries to make sense of everything, even when it doesn’t have the full picture.
The assumptions.
The “what ifs.”
The way one small moment can turn into a whole story.
When you’re used to overthinking, those internal narratives can feel real… even when they’re not.
So we question ourselves.
We replay things.
We fill in th...


Do I trust myself? Or Am I overthinking?
#11
04/12/2026

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t making a decision…
it’s trusting yourself after you’ve made it.
In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, we’re talking about what it feels like to constantly second guess your own thoughts, question your instincts, and wonder if you’re overthinking everything… or actually picking up on something real.
When you’re used to analyzing everything, trusting yourself doesn’t come easily.
So instead, we replay things. We look for signs. We try to be sure.
And somehow… we end up feeling even less certain.
If you’ve ever felt stuck bet...


10 Episodes later.. And I’m still overthinking!
#10
04/06/2026

I can’t believe we made it to 10 episodes.
And honestly… I’m still overthinking everything 😅 

In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, we’re slowing things down a little and celebrating the journey so far — the thoughts, the growth, the moments that made me pause, and the realization that maybe overthinking isn’t something we “fix”… it’s something we learn to understand. 

This one is a little lighter, a little more reflective, and just a reminder that progress doesn’t have to be perfect.

When Your Thoughts Start Turning On You
#9
03/29/2026


Sometimes overthinking isn’t about other people.
It’s not about what was said… or what might happen.
Sometimes it turns inward.
In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, we’re talking about what happens when your thoughts start focusing on you — replaying your words, questioning your actions, and picking apart things no one else is even thinking about.
When your mind becomes the one thing you can’t escape from. When the overthinking feels heavier… and more personal.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in your own head, overanalyzing who you are, what you said, or whe...


Intuition or Overthinking?
#8
03/23/2026

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t making a decision… it’s trusting the one you already feel.

In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, we’re talking about the struggle of trying to trust your intuition while your mind is questioning everything.
Is this a gut feeling… or am I just overthinking it? Is this clarity… or anxiety? Can I actually trust myself?

When you’re used to analyzing every detail, it can feel almost impossible to separate intuition from overthinking.
So instead of trusting what we feel, we second guess it. We replay it. We look for pr...


When you notice the Shift!
#7
03/15/2026

Sometimes it starts with something small.

A change in tone. A shift in energy. A feeling that something is… different.

And before we even know what’s happening, our mind starts trying to figure it out. Did we do something wrong? Are they upset? Should we fix it? 

In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, we talk about what happens when we start carrying emotions that were never ours to hold in the first place. 
Because overthinkers don’t just notice the shift — we start feeling it too.
If you’ve ever found yourself wor...


The Strong One who Overthinks Everything !
#6
03/08/2026

Sometimes being the “strong one” doesn’t mean you feel strong at all.
In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, we’re talking about the quiet pressure of always being the person who holds everything together. The one people rely on. The one who stays calm on the outside… even while your mind is constantly racing on the inside.
What happens when you’re the one everyone leans on — but you’re also the one overthinking everything?
If you’ve ever felt like you have to keep it together for everyone else, even when your mind won’t slow down… this conv...


The Guilt of Doing Nothing | Why Overthinkers Struggle to Rest
#5
03/01/2026

We say we’re exhausted… But the moment we sit down to rest, the guilt creeps in.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why doing “nothing” feels uncomfortable for overthinkers. Why slowing down can feel unproductive. Why rest feels like something we have to earn. 

If you’ve ever felt anxious while trying to relax… Or guilty for not “doing enough”… You’re not alone in your thoughts. 

Let’s talk about it.

“Why Do We Overthink Texts (and Response Time)?”
#4
02/22/2026

Have you ever sent a text… and then immediately started analyzing it?
Did that sound weird? Was that too much? Too short? Too eager?
And then the waiting starts.
Why haven’t they replied yet? Did I say something wrong? Are they upset? Are they losing interest?
In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, we’re unpacking why texting — in romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and even work conversations — can trigger so much overthinking.
Sometimes it’s not about the message at all.
Sometimes it’s about:
Wanting reassuranceFear of rejectionReading tone that isn’t thereFeeling e...


Why do small decisions feel so big!
#3
02/15/2026

Have you ever stared at a small decision and felt like it carried way more weight than it should?
What to say. What to choose. Whether you’re making the “right” move.
In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, I’m talking about why small decisions can feel overwhelming — and why it’s rarely just about the decision itself.
In this episode we explore:
Wanting to get it rightNot wanting to disappoint anyoneBeing afraid of regretOr just feeling tired of second-guessing yourself

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by choices that seem “simple,” this episode is a reminder that...


Why do we replay conversations in our heads?
#2
02/08/2026

In this episode of Overthinkers Anonymous, we’re talking about something most of us do — replay conversations in our head long after they’re over.
The things we wish we said differently. The tone we’re questioning. The moments we keep mentally revisiting, over and over again.
In this episode, I explore:
Why our brains replay conversations on repeatWhat we’re really searching for when we do thisHow overthinking shows up after social interactionsAnd how to gently interrupt the mental replay without judging yourself

This isn’t about stopping the thoughts completely — it’s about understanding wh...
