À propos de ce contenu audio

Overqualified & Unmuted is a candid, smart-hearted podcast for people who are excellent at what they do—and exhausted by the systems around them.


Hosted by Cass and Sonia, two seasoned professionals with backgrounds spanning healthcare, tech, operations, and leadership, this show explores burnout, ambition, career pivots, success fatigue, and what happens when capable people are asked to carry too much for too long.


This isn’t a highlight reel or a hustle sermon. It’s honest conversations, practical insights, and learning in real time—about work, identity, power, rest, and rewriting the rules without burning everything down.


Some episodes are strategic. Some are reflective. All are real.


If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much,” “overqualified,” or needed to quiet yourself to fit the room—this space is for you.

    • S1E3 Authenticity Trap - Live from Minneapolis
      Feb 6 2026

      Content note: This episode was recorded in real time during political and civil unrest in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis / St. Paul). We don’t go into graphic detail, but if current events are a trigger for you, please tread gently, pause when you need to, and take care of yourself.

      We start with our usual Bites & Delights, then dive into The Authenticity Trap—why “bring your whole self to work” can feel performative (or unsafe), how work personas protect you, and practical scripts for setting boundaries without making it weird.

      We also wrap the episode by reading listener comments and questions and responding to them together.

    • Odds and Sods - How we met
      Jan 24 2026

      A podcast within a podcast — where the leftover bits tell the bigger story.

      Odds & Sods is the unofficial, canon-adjacent side-channel of Overqualified & Unmuted — the part of the multiverse where the planning sessions, voice warm-ups, mid-record skincare hauls, cat diplomacy, and existential tech rants live.

      Hosted by Cass White and Sonya Keeney, this mini-series captures the spaces between the main episodes — the useful leftovers, open tabs, and behind-the-scenes moments that never make it to the boardroom but make everything else make sense.

      Expect semi-structured chaos: planning beats, cultural diagnostics, shared history, sharp humor, neurospicy detours, and the kind of candid conversation that would normally get lost in the edit.

      No corporate polish. Minimal narrative scaffolding. Maximum signal.

      Odds & Sods exists for listeners who want the texture — not just the headline.

    • The Great Unlearning: When the Habits That Made You Successful Start Holding You Back
      Jan 2 2026

      The habits that made you successful early in your career can quietly sabotage you later — especially when you move into leadership.

      In this episode of Overqualified and Unmuted, Cass and Sonia unpack The Great Unlearning: the moment when being indispensable, hyper-competent, and relentlessly reliable stops working — and starts causing burnout, team friction, and stalled growth.

      We explore the invisible transition from individual contributor to people leader, why extreme focus and perfectionism can become liabilities, and how “doing it all yourself” often harms the very teams you’re trying to support. From delegation and trust to psychological safety and managing up, this conversation gets honest about what leadership actually demands — and what it asks you to let go of.

      This episode is for high performers, managers, and emerging leaders who feel stuck between being excellent at their job and exhausted by it. If you’ve ever wondered why your old playbook stopped working, this is the episode that names it.

      Key topics discussed:

      • The shift from individual contributor to people manager
      • Why high-performer habits can hold leaders back
      • Delegation, trust, and letting go of control
      • Perfectionism, burnout, and psychological safety
      • What it really means to grow as a leader

      Subscribe to Overqualified and Unmuted for candid conversations about career growth, leadership, burnout, and navigating work without losing yourself in the process.
