  • Romance Book as Therapy?
    Jan 20 2026

    We’re your hosts, Heather and Desiree, two millennial late bloomers consistently behind in life, talking about it all: love, loss, trauma, spirituality, books, and much more.

    In this episode of the Perpetually Overdue Podcast, we delve into the therapeutic aspects of romance novels, discussing how these stories serve as emotional support and coping mechanisms for readers. We explore the resurgence of the romance genre, particularly through platforms like TikTok and BookTok, and how it has become a safe space for processing emotions and experiences.

    Desiree shares her personal journey, highlighting how romance books provided solace during difficult times, while Heather offers a contrasting perspective as a reader primarily of horror and fantasy.

    Together, we emphasize the importance of happy endings in romance novels and how they contribute to emotional regulation and escapism for readers.

  • Stepping Into Your Unbothered Villain Era
    Jan 13 2026

    We’re your hosts, Heather and Desiree, two millennial late bloomers consistently behind in life, talking about it all: love, loss, trauma, spirituality, books, and much more.

    In this episode of the Perpetually Overdue Podcast, we explore the concept of stepping into one's 'villain era' as a form of self-love and empowerment. We discuss the importance of being 'unbothered' in a world that often pressures individuals to conform to societal expectations.

    The conversation emphasizes the significance of setting boundaries, taking up space, and embracing individuality while navigating the challenges that come with asserting oneself.

    We share personal anecdotes and practical tips for listeners to cultivate their own unbothered mindset and live authentically without the weight of others' opinions.

  • Our Swiftie Shift Before Her Showgirl Era
    Jan 6 2026

    We’re your hosts, Heather and Desiree, two millennial late bloomers consistently behind in life, talking about it all: love, loss, trauma, spirituality, books, and much more.


    In this episode of the Perpetually Overdue Podcast, though we will trigger diehard Swifties, this is too important to us not to discuss, especially as ex-Swifties.

    We delve into our personal histories as fans, where the decline began, and the impact of her recent work. We discuss the evolution of Swift's image, the disconnect between her celebrity status and the realities faced by her audience, and the implications of her political silence.


    The conversation highlights the importance of accountability in celebrity culture and encourages listeners to reflect on their support for artists in light of social justice issues.
