Overheard in My Head

Why do some people stay in our minds long after they've left our lives?In this episode, I reflect on a recent moment that sent me spiraling after seeing a new photo of my ex—and the realization that followed. After months of processing, grieving, and trying to understand what happened, I started asking myself a different question: what am I still holding onto?I talk about the fear of letting go, the comfort we sometimes find in familiar pain, and why moving on can feel scarier than staying attached to the story. I also explore the idea that some people stay in our heads not because they're meant for us, but because they touched something deeper within us.Maybe healing isn't just about understanding what happened.Maybe it's about deciding you don't need to carry it anymore.———————Reddit Stories:"Why do some people get stuck in our heads?"Insta: @oimhpodContact: [email protected]: @overheardinmyheadpodPinterest: Overheard in My Head PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode, follow/subscribe and share it with someone who might need it!

What does it actually mean to be feminine?After watching a conversation on Love Island USA, I started thinking about how differently women experience femininity. Some of us are taught to be tough. Some of us wish we were softer. Some feel too emotional, while others struggle to express emotion at all.In this episode, I explore the many ways women relate to femininity, vulnerability, strength, confidence, and identity. I talk about why so many women feel like they're somehow "doing womanhood wrong," and whether femininity is something we perform or something we define for ourselves.Maybe there's no single way to be feminine. Maybe being a woman is a lot more expansive than we've been taught to believe.———————Reddit Stories:"What does it mean to be feminine/ what does femininity mean to you?"Insta: @oimhpodContact: [email protected]: @overheardinmyheadpodPinterest: Overheard in My Head PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode, follow/subscribe and share it with someone who might need it!

In this episode, I talk about the quiet, lonely side of healing — the part nobody really sees.The part where you still have to go to work, answer texts, pay bills, keep up with responsibilities, and somehow continue living your life while your heart is breaking in private.I read Reddit stories about healing from heartbreak alone and reflect on how healing often isn’t dramatic or inspiring — it’s repetitive, exhausting, and deeply invisible at times. I also talk about sticking to routines, rebuilding your life slowly, and learning that no one is going to applaud the small, consistent choices that help you move forward.Sometimes healing is just choosing yourself quietly over and over again.———————Reddit Stories:How to deal with heartbreak aloneHow did you recover from heartbreak while being alone and focused on work/study?———————Insta: @oimhpodContact: [email protected]: @overheardinmyheadpodIf you enjoyed this episode, follow/subscribe and share it with someone who might need it!

I’ve been realizing how much of my emotional world revolved around relationships, validation, and being chosen — and after this breakup, I started questioning who I even am outside of all of that.In this episode, I talk about losing yourself in relationships, why heartbreak can leave you feeling disconnected from your identity, and why I’m choosing not to date right now. I dive into wanting to become my own person again, rebuilding a life that feels like mine, and learning how to feel whole without centering romance.I also read a Reddit story about losing yourself in a relationship and reflect on how easy it is to slowly abandon parts of yourself without even realizing it.This episode is about selfhood, womanhood, healing, and figuring out who you are when your life stops revolving around someone else.———————Reddit Stories:"In relationship for 7 years and I don’t know who I am anymore.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of “the one that got away” — and whether that person was actually the one… or just someone I couldn’t fully let go of.In this episode, I talk about why unfinished endings hit so hard, the ego wounds that come with heartbreak, and why I no longer believe in “right person, wrong time.” Because if someone was truly right for you, would they have left you confused, abandoned, and questioning your worth?I also read Reddit stories about heartbreak, attachment, and struggling to let go of someone who felt special — and unpack the difference between real compatibility and emotional attachment.Sometimes healing is realizing that the person you thought was “the one that got away” just wasn’t capable of loving you the way you needed.———————Reddit Stories:What is your "she was the one that got away" story?What’s the story about your ‘the one that got away’ ?What does “The One That Got Away” mean?———————Insta: @oimhpodContact: [email protected]: @overheardinmyheadpodIf you enjoyed this episode, follow/subscribe and share it with someone who might need it!

I can finally say I’m starting to feel better… but I’m also not the same.In this episode, I talk about where I’m at in my healing right now — feeling more stable, more clear, but still learning and processing everything that happened. I dive into the idea that we accept the love we think we deserve, and how easy it is to settle for less when you’re emotionally attached or hoping someone will change. I read Reddit posts about self-worth and not accepting bare minimum love, and reflect on what I’ve learned from my own experience.This episode is about choosing yourself, raising your standards, and making the decision to never abandon yourself for someone else again.Because at the end of the day… the love you accept sets the standard for how you’re treated.———————Reddit Stories:Why do we "accept the love we think we deserve?"Do not settle for less than you deserveStories of choosing yourselfInsta: @oimhpodContact: [email protected]: @overheardinmyheadpod———————If you enjoyed this episode, follow/subscribe and share it with someone who might need it!

I kept hearing “focus on yourself”… but no one really explains what that actually looks like when you’re still heartbroken.In this episode, I talk about what it’s been like to start pouring into myself after my breakup — not in a perfect, “I’m healed” kind of way, but in small, real, everyday ways that have helped me feel a little more grounded.From getting back into the gym and building routines, to finding comfort in quiet, low-pressure moments, I share the things I’ve been doing to slowly rebuild my life — even when I don’t fully feel better yet.I also read and react to Reddit posts with ideas and perspectives on how to invest in yourself during healing.———————Reddit Stories:What are some forms of self-care you picked up after getting dumped?What are things/activities/thoughts that helped you getting over a break up?Insta: @oimhpodContact: [email protected]: @overheardinmyheadpod———————If you enjoyed this episode, follow/subscribe and share it with someone who might need it!

I still think about him… but I don’t reach out.In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to start de-centering men. Not in theory, but in real life, while you’re still healing.I share the small ways I’ve been choosing myself again: getting back into my routines, going to the gym, spending time with friends, journaling, and starting this podcast. Not because I’m fully “over it,” but because I’m learning how to stop making someone else the center of my emotional world.I also read and reflect on Reddit posts about what de-centering men looks like in practice — from no longer seeking male validation to becoming the main character in your own life. As one commenter put it, it’s about “not factoring men’s approval into every decision” and learning to prioritize your own needs and fulfillment.Because maybe healing isn’t about not thinking about them anymore… maybe it’s about choosing yourself even when you still do.———————Reddit Stories:“For those who de-centred men and relationships, how did you do it?”“What does “decentering men” look like in practice?

After a breakup, the hardest part isn’t always missing them — it’s stopping yourself from going back to what hurt you.In this episode, I read and reflect on Reddit posts about post-breakup boundaries and how people learn to protect their peace while still emotionally processing everything.We talk about the “rules” that actually help you move forward, from no-contact to emotional detachment, and why consistency matters more than closure.———————Reddit Stories:"Setting boundaries and walking away - how to cope with the heartbreak that follows?""Top 5 boundaries you should set after a breakup to recover faster (opinion)"Fuck Yes or No ArticleInsta: @oimhpodContact: [email protected]———————If you enjoyed this episode, follow/subscribe and share it with someone who might need it!
