The Black Girl Overthinking Podcast

Areiyami created this show as a space for Black women who cannot shut their brains off at night, who replay conversations for days, and who turn small decisions into full-blown internal debates. With 46 episodes released weekly, the podcast covers love, healing, modern womanhood, and what the host calls "the beautiful chaos of becoming." The tone is warm and direct, like getting advice from a friend who has actually thought the problem through instead of just telling you to relax. One of the best recurring segments is "Am I Overthinking or What?" where listeners send in real situations they are stuck on -- relationship red flags, friendship dynamics, career crossroads -- and Areiyami gives candid, specific feedback rather than generic platitudes. She also tackles attachment styles, rejection sensitivity, boundary-setting, and spiritual growth, weaving in personal stories and cultural commentary that keep the conversation grounded. The community calls themselves "Mind Muses," and based on the show's perfect 5.0 rating from Apple Podcasts reviewers, they are a loyal bunch. If most overthinking podcasts feel too clinical or too white for your experience, this one fills a real gap. Areiyami does not shy away from the messiness of growth, and she talks about it with the kind of honesty that makes you feel less alone in your own head.
