Welcome a new Co-host to the overthinker podcast - Tobi. We talk about overthinking, black mirror, being eldest sibling and Bluey, Tobi's new favorite show. Tobi definitely does not illegally stream Bluey.

In this episode, I talk about Death and how confronting the truth that I will die started my journey to living a happier life. The idea to not avoid talking about death and embrace its eventuality in my day to day was first presented to me in the book ''When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi'' which I talk about in this episode.
Just one more question have you ever thought about how you would spend your time if you knew the day you would die?

In this episode, Mr Johnson and I talk about growing up in the church, religion, and our ongoing relationship with Christianity. We challenge people to be self thinkers in line with the gospel and not be afraid to seek knowledge and challenge the status quo.

In this episode, Mr Johnson and I talk about friendship, and we share a little bit on our friendship history and deliberate steps we have taken in building our friendship.
There are just some things I find rather irksome and the idea behind Lady in Waiting is one of them. If you've seen Bridgerton you'll know what I'm talking about. The idea that a woman is not complete until she gets married until she "settles down''. Another phrase I detest. Enjoy!
