In this week’s episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox host the first-ever OVERTHINKING OLYMPICS: complete with events like the 3 a.m. Marathon, Catastrophe Sprint, Analysis Paralysis Relay, Hindsight High Jump, and the Social Gymnastics Floor Routine.
Together, they unpack why ADHD and anxious minds get stuck in these cycles — from perfectionism and decision fear to safety-seeking and control — and explore the heavy cost of competing: lost time, broken sleep, strained relationships, and missed joy.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Rich (the reigning champ of underthinking) shares practical ways to break free: reality checks, journaling, movement, tolerating uncertainty, and catching the emotion underneath the spiral. This is a funny, relatable, and surprisingly hopeful conversation for anyone whose brain won’t shut up.
