In this debut episode, host Andrea—psychotherapist, recovering perfectionist, and pop culture enthusiast—introduces Never Psychoanalyze Your Heroes.

Get ready for a deep dive into the overachieving lives of beloved fictional characters like:

• Hermione Granger
• Leslie Knope
• Kim Possible

Andrea explains her framework of overachiever personas:

• The Overscheduler – Time is maxed out.
• The Overworker – Mental capacity is overloaded.
• The Overthinker – Emotionally overwhelmed.
• The Overdoer – Physically exhausted.

Through these types, the show will explore how fictional struggles mirror our own—and how self-compassion can help us along the way.

Whether you're here for personal growth, character deep dives, or just some fun “homework” watching TV and movies, this podcast has something for you.
