You ever feel like you’re thinking too much? Like you see what’s happening in the world—your life, this culture, these routines we swear by—and you just can’t pretend it makes sense?
Good. Because same.
I’m Karmen Michael Smith, your Overthinker-in-Chief, spiraling publicly so you don’t have to.
This isn’t self-help. This isn’t hot takes. This is a disruption of the ordinary.
One day, it’s the gym and why my body resists going.
The next, it’s what happened to Starbucks?
And sometimes? It’s calling out the cultural mess we’re all pretending not to see.
No fake wisdom. No forced positivity. Just honest, unfiltered spirals about how we got here—and where we go next.
New episodes every week.
If you’re overthinking, you’re not alone. I’m already there.
This is not a farewell—it’s a sacred pause. A moment to honor the spirals we've taken together: through fear and fatigue, freedom and faith, grief and becoming. In this last offering, Karmen reflects on what it means to follow divine instruction when you don't know the next step, to trust rest as sacred, and to live not just by grind, but by grace.
If you’ve ever needed permission to stop striving, to stop performing, to simply be—this is that permission slip. The spiral doesn’t end here. It deepens.
And until we spiral again, may disruption be the catalyst for your liberation.
