What do job loss, noisy windows, Instagram fatigue, and skipping a yoga session with Black Q+ men have in common? Spiral with me as we talk about what it means to design a life you're actually living, not performing, and why the ones who really want to find you… will.

E9: DEI, Yoga, and Learning to Live on Purpose

You ever feel like you’re thinking too much? Like you see what’s happening in the world—your life, this culture, these routines we swear by—and you just can’t pretend it makes sense? Good. Because same. I’m Karmen Michael Smith, your Overthinker-in-Chief, spiraling publicly so you don’t have to. This isn’t self-help. This isn’t hot takes. This is a disruption of the ordinary. One day, it’s the gym and why my body resists going. The next, it’s what happened to Starbucks? And sometimes? It’s calling out the cultural mess we’re all pretending not to see. No fake wisdom. No forced positivity. Just honest, unfiltered spirals about how we got here—and where we go next. New episodes every week. If you’re overthinking, you’re not alone. I’m already there.
