For our FIRST guest episode, we're talking about something most of us deal with—but don't always want to talk about:

MONEY. 💸

Why do women overthink it so much?

This week, Melissa and Kami are joined by Lupita Lechuga, RICP®, Director of Financial Planning, for a very real conversation about our relationship with money and why so much of it has absolutely nothing to do with the numbers.

We talk about the money messages we picked up as kids, why women tend to second-guess financial decisions, the pressure to have it all figured out, spending guilt, debt, FOMO, impulse purchases, credit cards, saving, and what happens when life is simply life-ing and dealing with your finances keeps getting pushed further down the list.

Lupita also shares some practical ways to make money feel less overwhelming - including getting organized, understanding where your money is actually going, identifying what you genuinely value, sleeping on purchases before hitting "buy," and choosing one financial priority when everything feels like too much.

And yes... we also somehow get into Starbucks, Amazon carts, Kohl's Cash, trinkets, taking your bra off at the end of the day, and why your shoes probably don't need a payment plan. 😂

This isn't about being perfect with money.

It's about getting more comfortable talking about it, understanding the habits and beliefs influencing our decisions, and building the confidence to make the next right move for your life.

Because maybe we don't need to have money completely figured out.

Maybe we just need to stop being so afraid to talk about it.

Probably Most Definitely Overthinking This
Real conversations about the things we're all probably overthinking anyway.

Personal growth gets uncomfortable when you start becoming the person your next chapter requires.

In this episode, we’re talking about personal growth - the uncomfortable, exciting, sometimes totally woo-woo version of it.

We get into what happens when the old version of you doesn’t quite fit anymore, but you’re still figuring out who you’re becoming. From self-validation and trusting your own decisions to vision boards, manifestation, affirmations, spirituality, intuition, and even the idea that your future self might be leaving you a few breadcrumbs along the way.

We also talk about something we both believe: you can’t just put what you want on a vision board and wait for it to happen. You have to grow into it.

Sometimes that means reading the book. Taking the chance. Trying something new. Going inward. Getting uncomfortable. Or simply trusting that you don’t have to know exactly how everything is going to unfold yet.

We definitely get a little weird in this one and we’re completely okay with that. 😂

Because there’s no one right way to grow. Stay curious, experience your life, trust yourself, and keep doing the real work.

📚 The Power of Now — Eckhart Tolle
Melissa’s book recommendation and one she says changed her life.

📚 The Success Principles — Jack Canfield
One of Kami’s recommendations for personal growth, possibility, and learning from the breadcrumbs other people leave behind.

📚 The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership — John C. Maxwell
A book Kami credits with helping her recognize the gap between where she was and the person and leader she wanted to become.

🎬 The Secret
Kami shares how The Secret first introduced her to manifestation, affirmations, and intentionally thinking about what she wanted to create.

🧘 Insight Timer
One of Kami’s favorite tools for meditation, clearing her mind, breathing, and coming back to herself.

🎧 Healing Frequencies / Frequency Sounds
Melissa likes listening to frequency sounds while sleeping as another way to slow down, reset, and go inward.

✨ Vision Boards
Something we both use — in VERY different ways — to explore what we want, play with possibility, and create a vision for what might come next.

Is authenticity online actually authentic anymore?

In this episode of Probably Most Definitely Overthinking This, Kami and Melissa unpack the blurry line between being genuinely yourself and performing authenticity for an audience.

From crying videos and curated vulnerability to viral content, personal branding, and the pressure to always be “real,” this conversation gets honest about what authenticity actually looks like in today’s social media world.

We explore the difference between connection and validation, why not everything needs an audience to be meaningful, the truth about chasing viral content, and what authentic marketing really means when you’re building a business or personal brand.

We also dive into processing life publicly vs. privately, emotional boundaries online, and why sustainable connection will always outperform performative attention.

If you’ve ever questioned what’s real online or caught yourself overthinking how you show up... this episode is for you.

What does it take to try something new?

According to Kami and Melissa... a little bit of delusion.

In this episode, we explore why every dream, business, podcast, and big life change starts with believing in something before there is proof it will work.

We share stories about imposter syndrome, fear of judgment, looking ridiculous, and taking action long before confidence arrives.

Because the truth is:

Confidence doesn't come before action.
Confidence comes from action.

If you've ever worried about what people might think, questioned whether you're qualified, or felt called to do something bigger, this conversation is for you.

Sometimes the people who change their lives are simply the people willing to look a little crazy first.

Have you ever delayed a decision because you needed one more opinion?

In this episode, Kami and Melissa unpack why so many of us struggle to trust ourselves. From business decisions and life changes to relationships, clutter, and personal growth, they explore the ways we seek validation before taking action.

The conversation touches on people-pleasing, hyper-independence, emotional maturity, intuition, and the reality that sometimes there is no perfect answer - just the courage to make a choice and learn from it.

If you've been stuck in analysis paralysis, waiting for certainty, or asking everyone else what they think before listening to yourself, this episode offers a refreshing reminder:

You are more capable than you think, and your current situation is not your final destination.

Hosted by Kami Schatz and Melissa Hayes.

What happens when the thing you have been hoping for actually starts happening?

Most of us expect success, growth, love, and new opportunities to feel exciting…

But sometimes they feel terrifying.

In this episode, we talk about the unexpected panic that comes when life starts working - the moment where old patterns, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome try to pull us back into what feels familiar.

We talk about learning to receive:
✨ Compliments without minimizing yourself
✨ Opportunities without questioning if you deserve them
✨ Success without sabotaging it
✨ Growth without shrinking back into who you used to be

Because maybe the panic isn’t telling you that you’re on the wrong path.

Maybe it’s showing you that you’re becoming someone new.

In this first official episode, we’re diving into something almost everyone experiences but rarely talks about honestly: why smart, capable people still doubt themselves.

We talk about:

• ​Knowing what to do… but not doing it
• ​Why confidence shows up for everyone else but not always for us
• ​Overthinking, capacity, and getting stuck in your own head
• ​And what it actually looks like to move forward anyway

This episode is real, a little messy, and exactly what this podcast is about - figuring it out in real time.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be further ahead, more confident, or more “together”… you’re not alone.

We’re right there with you.
