  • 26. The Career Diaries #3 | Everything quitting my first job taught me about failure

    Welcome to the third episode of The Career Diaries: a mini-series where I unpack everything we’ve been taught to believe about jobs, success, and what it means to "" have it all together ""In this episode, I get quite personal about the decision to quit my first full-time job: what led up to it and why quitting went against my entire belief system

    We’re often told to stick things out and just be grateful for what we have, but sometimes, quitting is the bravest thing to do

    In this episode, we're unpacking the pressures that keep us stuck in the wrong roles, challenging the stigma around quitting, and I'll be sharing what I’ve learnt (so far (I may be wise but I'm only 24)) about choosing better for yourself even when it’s scary

  • 24. the Career Diaries #1 | Everything having a "prestigious" job taught me about society

    Welcome to the first episode of The Career Diaries: a mini-series where I unpack everything we’ve been taught to believe about jobs, success, and what it means to """have it all together""""
    today’s episode is all about prestige: why some careers get a gold star and others get a lot of sh*t, how we internalise status, and why so many of us feel lowkey/highkey panicked about our paths.

    is it societal pressure?

    internalised capitalism?

    is it just what having LinkedIn feels like?

    or is it all in our heads?enjoy xx

  • 20. men go without saying: on being a woman in a "man's world"

    FIRST epsiode as Overthinking Central !! I hope you like the new name <3

    I am sorry if I'm not very upbeat in this epsiode; I am really tired these days

    this episode is a review of/ a commentary on my personal experience related to Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez.

    I discuss my impressions of the book as someone who only read it a month ago at the ripe age of 24 and who wishes she had read this ages ago

    If you haven't read it yet, please do so I beg you

    I also talk about my personal experience with some points this book raises and how the impacted (and continue to impact) my day-to-day life in a way that i hope will be relatable to many others

    This episode is about feminism, working in a male-dominated industry and womanhood in general

  • 19. I'll have what she's having: jealousy, social media and comparison

    a written version is also available on substack (this is a new thing for me so please check it out!! <3) @overthinkingcentralpodcast


    from a rom-com line all the way to consumerist trends and beauty standards, this episode is all about comparison in the digital age and what it does to us innocent creatures

    don't forget to watch When Harry met Sally

  • 18. sper du yuh yuh: why reality TV is good for you

    i finally watched The Traitors and I loved it!!

    in this episode, we'll discuss in great detail why reality TV has such a weird reputation, what it can actually bring us and what sets it apart from movies/shows

    coming from an ex reality-TV hater <3 this is an ode to reality shows as a way to connect and start an easy conversation (could this be the ultimate elevator pitch opening line: "did you watch the Traitors last night?" ?)

    also, I wanted to acknowledge the traitors is probably one of "the classiest" reality TV shows out there. so maybe stick to that one and don't ask your boss who their favourite naked attraction contestant was at your next team lunch

    this is just a light-hearted easy breezy episode I hope you enjoy!
