Overachieving Sh*tshow is for ambitious women who are successful on paper but exhausted in real life.
Hosted by Dr. Kate Rodriguez, PhD, LPC-S, this podcast explores burnout, imposter syndrome, cultural pressure, ambition, identity, and the nervous system science behind why high-achievers struggle to slow down.
Each episode blends real conversations, humor, and practical tools to help you protect your spark without shrinking your goals. We talk to judges, business owners, creatives, therapists, and women navigating power, pressure, and purpose without pretending to have it all together.
If you’re high-functioning, slightly overwhelmed, and tired of earning your rest… you’re in the right place.
