Overpromising 101: The REAL REASON You C...

Zainab Al Yakoob and Mia Al Abdulrazzak
About this episode

This Wednesday, if “I’m on my way!” means “I’m still in bed” to you, welcome to the squad. We’re spilling the tea on why we all overpromise like it’s a sport—and why we need to chill. From committing to a million plans we know we’ll bail on, to saying “yes” just to keep the peace, we’re digging into the psychology behind our flake habits. Join us as we break down the People-Pleaser Complex, FOMO-fueled optimism, and the ever-elusive belief that this time we’ll actually follow through. Tune in to laugh, cringe, and maybe finally understand why we’re always our own worst over-promisers. All this and more in this week’s episode!
