239: How to Have Hard Conversations with Sara Bybee Fisk

Overthinking Out Loud with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal ·

2026/10/06

You may be completely capable of having hard conversations at work, advocating for your clients, or speaking up for someone you love, but when the conversation is about what you need, suddenly it can feel very different. In this episode, I'm joined by master certified coach Sara Bybee Fisk for a powerful conversation about people-pleasing, resentment, relational risk, and why the conversations we keep putting on the shelf often come with a cost. We explore what makes a conversation feel hard, why

238: Coming Back to Your Why (and a change is coming)

Overthinking Out Loud with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal ·

2026/09/29

What happens when the thing that used to motivate you no longer feels quite as powerful? Sometimes we keep pushing, planning, and trying to force ourselves forward when what we really need is to reconnect with why we're doing any of it in the first place. In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson that started with a struggle at home with my daughter and quickly turned into a much bigger realization about motivation, overthinking, and the next chapter of my own work. This is a more personal episode about

237: How to Stop Negotiating on Yourself

Overthinking Out Loud with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal ·

2026/09/22

You already know what you said you were going to do. So why does your brain suddenly have 47 very convincing reasons not to do it? For overachievers, inconsistency often isn't a discipline problem. It's what happens in those tiny moments when we start negotiating with ourselves. We think about whether we should start tomorrow, whether today is too busy, whether we need to feel more motivated first, and before we know it, we've talked ourselves right out of the action that would move us forward.

236: Transactional Health Goals

Overthinking Out Loud with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal ·

2026/09/15

What if the scale froze today and never moved again? Would you still want to eat, move, sleep, and take care of yourself the way you are right now? For overachievers, it's easy to bring transactional energy into our health goals. We follow the plan, put in the effort, and expect the scale to pay us back. And when it doesn't happen on our timeline, resentment, frustration, and "why bother?" can quickly creep in. In this episode, I'm exploring what happens when we stop keeping score with our bodies

Overthinking Out Loud with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal ·

2026/09/08

What if time isn't actually the reason you haven't reached your goal? As high-achieving women, it's easy to believe that we simply need more time, a calmer season, or fewer responsibilities before we can finally follow through. But in this episode, I'm challenging that idea and sharing a clip from a recent coaching call inside The Unstoppable Group about what actually creates results. We're talking about the difference between letting time pass and intentionally putting in high-quality reps,

The TEDx talk is officially done. After months of preparing, rehearsing, getting rejected, trying again, and thinking about those 12 minutes on the Red Circle, I expected to wake up afterward feeling completely different. But that's not exactly what happened. In this bonus episode, I'm sharing what surprised me most on the other side of accomplishing an "impossible" goal, including the patterns that showed up right before I stepped on stage, what helped me stop performing and start connecting, and

This is the final chapter of my TEDx story before I step onto the stage, and this time, I'm not telling it from the other side. I'm recording it in real time, just days before the talk, while the nerves, perfectionism, and overthinking are very much alive. In this episode, I'm sharing what surprised me about getting close to a big goal, why success can sometimes make our stress patterns louder instead of quieter, and the shift that's helping me stay grounded as the red circle gets closer. Because

Overthinking Out Loud with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal ·

2026/08/18

This week, I'm sharing part three of my TEDx journey, and the part that I believe matters most when you're going after a big goal: what happens when you get rejected. As an overachiever, rejection can feel like so much more than a simple "no." It can quickly turn into questioning whether you're good enough or whether the goal was ever meant for you in the first place. In this episode, I'm sharing what my TEDx rejections brought up for me, how my 60-pound weight loss journey prepared me for these

This episode starts with a surprising realization: making the decision to chase a big dream isn't actually the hardest part. The real challenge begins after the excitement fades. In part two of my TEDx journey, I'm sharing the mindset shift that helped me move forward when motivation disappeared, and why this lesson changed not just my TEDx experience, but my weight loss journey too. If you've ever wondered why you procrastinate on the goals that matter most, or found yourself waiting to "feel

A few years ago, I had a dream that felt way too big, and I almost talked myself out of it before I ever took the first step. In this episode, I'm sharing a milestone I've been waiting months to announce and the mindset shift that finally helped me stop dismissing my own dreams. This is the first episode in a four-part series that takes you behind the scenes of my TEDx journey. If you've ever had an idea that excited you only to immediately convince yourself it probably wasn't for you, this episode

Overthinking Out Loud with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal ·

2026/07/28

We're wrapping up the six-part summer series with the mindset pattern I see most often in the smartest women I work with: wanting to feel completely certain and in control before you take action. It sounds responsible. It even feels productive. But if you've ever spun through every "what if" scenario, you already know what this really is: a time machine that takes you out of the only moment you can actually control, which is right now. In this final bite-sized episode, I'm sharing the exact process

If you've ever made a plan on Sunday and thought, "But what if I don't feel like eating that way by Thursday?" and then quietly made no plan at all, this one is for you, friend. In Part 5 of the Success Mindset summer series, I dig into the mindset that keeps so many of us overachievers stuck: the fear of feeling boxed in, and the way that fear quietly hands your most important decisions to the most depleted version of you. Here's the uncomfortable truth underneath it. The freedom you think you're

If you're the kind of woman who gets a little hit of satisfaction every time you cross something off your list, this one's for you, friend. Because here's what I've noticed after years of chasing those tiny checkboxes: the small, easy tasks we tell ourselves are "productive" are often the exact thing keeping us from the goal that actually matters. I call it procrasto-working, and overachievers are dangerously good at it. In part four of our six-part Success Mindset summer series, I'm sharing the

If you're the kind of woman who scans the room to make sure everyone else is comfortable before you even think about yourself, this one is for you. Somewhere along the way, a lot of overachievers picked up a quiet belief: that rest has to be earned. That you can take care of yourself once the to-do list is finally done, once the fires are out, once everyone else is handled. It sounds generous on paper. But in Part 3 of the summer Success Mindset series, Priyanka does the real math on what that

Most overachievers don't fall short of their goals because they lack a plan. They fall short because they're running their life on autopilot — and a goal, by definition, means you want something different than what you have right now. In part two of the Success Mindset series, Priyanka unpacks the sneaky mindset that quietly keeps smart, busy women waiting: the when-then thought. When my calendar clears, then I'll focus on myself. When I finish this to-do list, then I'll take care of my health. If

If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "If I can't do it perfectly, why even bother?" — this one's for you, friend. Welcome to the very first episode of a brand-new summer series, where I'm sharing shorter, more unfiltered, off-the-cuff thoughts on the mindset of success — the gaps I'm watching come up again and again for the overachieving women I coach every single week. We're kicking it off with the barrier I see derail more smart women than almost any other, especially this time of year:

If you've ever gotten the A+, the promotion, the passed board exam... and felt good for maybe two days before sprinting toward the next thing, this episode is for you. This week I'm joined by Dr. Shivana Naidoo, a child and adult psychiatrist I met at a women physicians conference, where her talk hit me so squarely in the heart that I tracked her down afterward and asked her to come on the show. We get into the chase, that hamster wheel so many smart, overachieving women are running without even

If you've ever told yourself "I'll get serious about this after summer… after the holidays… in January," this one's for you. There's a quiet thought error running underneath that delay, and once I name it, you won't be able to unsee it. So many of us keep pushing off the best parts of our lives because a primitive part of the brain has decided that losing the weight you want has to feel terrible and restrictive. And if that were true, of course you'd put it off. In this episode, I name that trap

You've done this before. You get a clean plan, the macros mapped out, a tidy calorie budget, and you feel completely ready... and then a busy work week, an on-call shift, or the after-school chaos quietly dismantles it by Wednesday. In this short bonus episode, I'm talking about why a plan on paper almost never survives real life, and what actually does. There's a big difference between having a strategy ChatGPT can spit out and having what I call million-dollar skills, the kind that transcend your
