Welcome to the grand finale of Season 4 of Black Girl Overthinking — and baby, we’re going out with a bang. In this raw, hilarious, and soul-stirring episode, Areiyami breaks down fast-tracked intimacy on Love Island, the Tyler Perry lawsuit and Straw film analysis, global chaos with Iran, and viral celebrity tea from Cardi B to Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist.
Then we dive deep into relationship cycles — why men fumble healed women, the emotional trap of obsession vs. true safety, and how to choose yourself even when it’s hard. Plus: listener confessions that’ll have you gasping, shaking your head, and screaming “GIRL NOOO.”
If you’ve ever felt like peace made you “too much,” or like closure only comes when you stop seeking it — this one’s for you.
Close out the season with a powerful affirmation, heartfelt gratitude, and a soft challenge that’ll shift your whole week.
Affirmation: “I am not hard to love — I was just loving people who couldn’t see me.”
Challenge of the Week: Let go of anything or anyone that makes you feel small. Period.
Thank you for riding with me all season long. The healing, the laughs, the tears — it’s all been real. Season 5 returns in March, but until then… keep choosing yourself.

In this raw, reflective, and razor-sharp insert, Areiyami opens up about the spiritual, emotional, and psychological unraveling of a so-called friendship that was never rooted in love—only in leverage. She unpacks the red flags, the gaslighting, and the grief that comes with outgrowing someone who never showed up to grow with you. This is more than a story—it’s a survival guide for anyone healing from the pain of being studied, envied, and emotionally robbed by someone they once called “friend.” This one’s not just for the overthinkers. It’s for the empaths, the givers, the forgivers, and the finally done.
Clarity is sacred. Loyalty has limits. And some friendships end because they were never real to begin with.
Join Areiyami as she dives into current world events and tackles the questions sent in by her supportive gang of Mind Muses for the fan-favorite segment, “Am I Overthinking or What?” She closes each episode with a soothing affirmation and heartfelt gratitude for her listeners.

This week on Black Girl Overthinking we talkin about the kind of growth that don’t always come with soft piano music and affirmation cards. I mean the real kind that shows up when somebody say something slick and you gotta fight every cell in your body not to turn into your old self. We’re diving into why your triggers are the real test of your evolution, not how many crystals you own. I also get into Mariah the Scientist’s new song Burning Blue and why it got the lover girl in me shook, Ryan Coogler’s film Sinners and all the spiritual teeth it had, and this wild Shannon Sharpe mess that got me squinting real hard at Unc. And the “Am I Overthinking or What” segment is pure juice—are you trippin if you lose sex drive when your emotional needs ain’t being met? Is your homegirl lowkey hatin when she brings up your veneers mid-compliment? And what do you do when your man won’t even touch you in lingerie on his birthday? Yeah. This one is a journey. Come overthink out loud with me.

Have you ever felt trapped by who you used to be in other people’s eyes?
In this powerful episode of Black Girl Overthinking, Areiyami unpacks why society struggles to accept our growth, and how that resistance says more about them than it does about you.

This episode is filled with gems about healing, self-perception, emotional boundaries, and why sometimes growth doesn’t mean reunion—it means release.
Plus, in the hilarious and heartfelt #AmIOverthinkingOrWhat?! segment, Areiyami answers listener questions about horny decisions, delusional DMs, and petty energy vampires that belong on Instagram poetry pages, not in your life.

Affirmation of the Week:

✨ Highlights:
With the Spring Equinox bringing fresh energy, there’s no better time to step into the next version of you. So let’s talk about it. Let’s start moving—even if we’re scared.
