EP 14 - Sleeping in Heels (Just in Case)
<p>What happens when a therapist and a family law attorney give a high school leadership speech and immediately decide to hit record? Absolute, beautiful chaos. In this episode of the <i>Overachieving Shit Show</i>, Dr. Kate Rodriguez sits down with her very first family law attorney guest—and longtime family friend—Roxy Johnson.</p><p>Together, Kate and Roxy dive deep into the messy reality of relationships, communication breakdowns, and the heavy toll of family litigation. Roxy shares the hilarious origin story of her viral "Divorce Him" t-shirts, what it’s really like to wear courtroom negativity as a badge of honor, and why knowing when to "let off the gas" is crucial for saving a family's mental health.</p><p>They also get real about personal growth, overcoming the endless loop of excuses, and learning to trust your gut when it's time to take a blind leap of faith. Plus, stick around for a heartfelt, chaotic walk down memory lane as they swap stories about Kate’s late brother Robert—including the time he single-handedly (and posthumously) helped Roxy pass the bar exam, and his legendary realization that he actually <i>was</i> a doctor.</p>

EP 13 - Cooking & Entertaining Through the Grief
<p>Long before he was hosting a ridiculous Facebook cooking show where the "surprise taster" was his best friend Sam every single week, Matt Stevens was a high school kid in Portland, Texas renting dance halls and chartering 50-seat buses to Luckenbach.</p><p>In this laugh-out-loud but surprisingly deep episode, Dr. Kate talks to Matt about what happens when you spend your life managing big personalities (like Joan Rivers and Garth Brooks) and finally need a therapeutic outlet of your own. They talk about the freedom of acting crazy on camera, the peace found in a rural Buddhist temple, fighting for the Coastal Bend AIDS foundation in the conservative 1980s, and how to hold onto the memory of lost loved ones through pure, unadulterated humor.</p>

EP 12 - The 70% Rule
<ul><li>Fifteen years, a few panic attacks in the Bell Library, multiple kids, and a dozen jobs later, they are sitting down to talk about how high-capacity women navigate life when they constantly take on "one more thing." If your accountant has ever asked you why you have so many W-2s, or you've accidentally used a deactivated credit card because you're functioning at 70%, this episode is your validation. Kate and Taylor talk boundaries, burnout, and learning when to let the "traveling shit show" app in your brain take the driver's seat.</li></ul><p><br /></p>
