The Dark Side of Overachieving

from Hope for the Mind · host Kristin Ontiveros

In this episode of Hope for the Mind, we're having a real, honest conversation about overachievement—and why it’s not always a good thing. Many of us take pride in going the extra mile, but what happens when that drive to excel starts to control us?  We'll explore the psychological roots of overachievement—how it’s often fueled by fear, imposter syndrome, and childhood conditioning rather than genuine passion. Plus, we'll dive into biblical examples of overachievers who went too far and paid the price.   Follow us on Instagram Find us on Facebook Website
