Hi, I’m Isabel! I’m an autistic teenage girl and I get overly invested in a lot of things. My autism gives me hyper-fixations which is where I become absolutely obsessed with things that then consume my every waking moment. While this can be hard to deal with, it also gives me a lot of cool things to be passionate about and a love of hearing what other people care, maybe a little too much, about. Every Friday on this podcast, I will be talking to someone about something that they are overly invested in. Occasionally, I will also share whatever I, personally, can't shut up about as well.
On today's episode of Overly Invested, Isabel and Emily talk all things mental health. They discuss the importance of self-care, doing things from your wise mind, and her activism so far. Emily also shares her love and obsession with the United Nations. It's fun, insightful, and a really important conversation.

Overly Invested Trailer
Hi! Nice to meet you. My name's Isabel. I’m an autistic teenage girl and I get overly invested in a lot of things. Because I'm autistic, I have hyper-fixations which is where I become absolutely obsessed with certain things that then consume my every waking moment. Super fun stuff. While this can be hard to deal with, it also gives me a lot of cool things to be passionate about and a love of hearing what other people care about. Every Friday on this podcast, I will be talking to someone about something, good, bad, or in-between, that they are overly invested in. Occasionally, I will also share whatever I, personally, can't shut up about as well. It's going to be lots of fun, passion, and geeking out over random things. You all will get to hear an audio version of my brain and meet some awesome people. If you want, please go ahead and subscribe. The first episode will be up Friday, February 5th and I'm already overly invested in this. Talk to you then!
P.S. For a quick intro about me: I love pizza, pop culture, and trying to make the world less awful. But I'm sure we'll cover all of that :)
