Overthinking with the Overbys

Send a message to the pod!

Ever felt the pressure of not matching past successes? Or perhaps the societal demands of having an identity outside of being a parent? We take an introspective look at our personal and professional lives, and we break down our experiences with identity crises, postpartum depression, the challenges of evolving in a creative career, and what it truly means to live in the present.  This week we give some insight in to how 2023 has gone and what we hope will be different as we enter a new year.

Enjoy a few fun personal anecdotes - from our daughter hilariously picking up phrases to our initial dating days and questionable fashion choices - as we attempt to keep things light during our 2023 recap. After all that, we hit Greg's Reads of the Week and Matt picks another Word of the Week on the fly before jumping into the last voicemail session of the year.
 
Topics include parenting, relationships, and mental health, so join us for a candid discussion on life, growth, and the joys and struggles of being parents.  

We are going on break until January 10th, but don't let that stop you from reaching out to our email or voicemail! 

Thank you to everyone who has joined us over the past sixty episodes and we look forward to making it even better next year!

We kick the episode off explaining how living with Matt and our 2019 trip to Italy have derailed my ability to travel plan and set an itinerary, and follow up with progress updates on the quest for more minimalist lives (or at least closets.) 

We jump from there to Greg's Reads of the Week, a listener submitted Word of the Week, and a Bad Dad / Mean Mom that is more existential than it is a specific event.

Keep your seatbelts fastened for voicemails and emails this week, there's a couple questions that deal with family drama and pettiness, as well as how to follow your business pursuits and build a community. Pop on your headphones for a heap of candid insights, a healthy dose of laughter, and maybe even a couple of life-improving lessons.

From a deviated septum to candid mental health discussions, we start off this episode with a bang.  We trade stories about nosebleeds, breathing troubles, and the unexpected camaraderie found in a Sam's Club encounter, and in the video we showcase a sneak peak of an upcoming product launch! We touch on the art of balancing hobbies with ADHD, and share Matt's athletic feat that nearly removed his big toe.  We hit Greg's Reads of the Week (plural this week) and launch right into a handful of voicemails!

Questions ranged from the proper utensil choice for Mac and cheese to avoiding burnout and the proper way to store those countless photos on your phone.  Join us on this journey as we navigate through our experiences, hopes, and anxieties and remember, we're all learning and growing together, one episode at a time.

This week we talk through the differences between memory and recall (and which one of can do which), discuss how Halloween and other holidays have changed since having kids, and give an updated look into family photo tips and tricks.  

We get to a handful of voicemails again this week, ranging from how to handle complex family dynamics to pricing your services as a self employed creative.  We retell our engagement story and do our best to provide insightful advice how how to move on after breaking off an extended relationship. 

Also, we truly appreciate you all for helping us to reach 500 ratings and reviews on Spotify! So buckle up; it's going to be a memorable ride. Let's start Oversharing!

We kick things off with and an extended discussion on pleated dress pants then wander our way through dealing with unsolicited advice on TikTok, authoring children's books, and the differences in how we process our thoughts. We hit Greg's Reads of the Week, learn a magical new word, and get to a handful of your voicemails and emails again! Thanks again for all the great submissions and keep them coming!  There's lots to learn from, laugh about, and ponder on in this episode, so don't miss out!

Greg's Reads of the Week

Parenting is an endurance test of epic proportions, and this week we take you on a wild ride as we share our adventures, late-night capers, and the effects of sleep deprivation on our recent kid-free vacation that left us more exhausted than relaxed. We also get into the big questions of life, including the the five liquids we would keep on finger tap and whether or not Helen Keller existed.

After that we get to a few lighter questions including ADHD/ASD diagnoses, diverging religious beliefs, and strained family relationships and maintaining boundaries.  Regular segments like Greg's Reads and Bad Dad / Mean Mom are sprinkled in there too, so join us as we navigate these topics with honesty, humor, and a dash of oversharing. You just might end the episode feeling better than when you started.

What happens when you cross a home DIY project with deep conversations on morality and faith? That's right! This week on Oversharing with Overvies, we tackle our long-ignored garage cabinets and dive into the nitty-gritty of our personal relationship journey. Listen closely as we journey from reconnection to engagement and marriage, with an unexpected text message that set everything in motion. We also share our experiences navigating financial advice, retirement perceptions, and word interpretation.

This week we dive into teaching your children morals without without leaning on religion. One of our listeners posed this question, and we take it head-on. We explore how we frame morality outside of religious doctrines and share how we use stories from movies and books to guide our understanding. We also delve into the broader implications of faith and morality, particularly in a predominantly Christian area. Join us as we unpack these critical discussions.

Finally, we give you a glimpse into the mundanity and chaos of our everyday lives, especially with our garage cabinet project. With a fresh navy blue paint and the reattached doors, we can't help but feel proud of our progress. But, let's be real, it wasn't a walk in the park - think babysitter timings, Google DIY videos, and the very real struggle of organization. It's a labor of love, and we're happy to share every bit of this journey with you. Tune in this week for all this and so much more on Oversharing with Overbys.

Ever find yourself on a date night at the grocery store due to lack of planning? That's exactly the predicament we found ourselves in but hey, it turned out to be an unexpected blast and any quality time is good quality time, right?

We are fashionably late to the Kelce - Swift intrigue, talk fantasy football championship games, and dive in lessons and things we thought would be vital as adults, but as it turns out, not so much.  Greg's reads of the week brings us a great potpourri of topics ranging from male loneliness to high speed trains.

- Male loneliness epidemic: How fathers face a friendship deficit | CNN
- Reese Witherspoon Says Why It's Important To 'Edit Your Friendships'
- Potential plans underway for high-speed trains across the U.S.

Voicemails this week touch on the delicate balance of living for the present and planning for the future, the struggles of new parents and postpartum irritability, and the importance of open communication. So, join us as we break down life, one amusing topic at a time!
