The Overcompensating Podcast, Episode 4In this episode, we go back to the essence of The Overcompensating Podcast: sharing our latest overcompensating materials, asking each other slightly absurd questions, and talking about what we’ve been watching, reading, and listening to lately.Think of it as the first what we believe will become a series — a sort of How to Overcompensate guide, where instinct beats planning, chaos meets connection, and self-awareness collides with self-delusion.We tried to record this one in person (spoiler: we failed), but what we lost in logistics, we made up for in laughter, cult rituals, and confessions that probably should’ve stayed in the notes app.👉 Join our Substack community: https://theovercompensating.substack.com👈_💡 About The OvercompensatingWe’ve been friends since we were four. This is our space to unpack the ways we over-explain, overdress, overthink — and, yes, overcompensate — through culture, style, family, food, travel, and everything in between.👋🏻 If you’ve ever struggled to find balance — between wellness and indulgence, planning for later and living for now — you’ll feel right at home here._🎧 In this episode00:00 — Opening scene: “The first episode Iñaki records wearing pants.” A conversation on outfits, dignity, and other illusions of adulthood.01:00 — The failed in-person dream: both got sick; both insist the other was faking it. Switzerland superiority vs. Paris fatigue — and the mystery of who lied better.03:25 — What we’re currently overcompensating for: from material comforts to emotional justifications — an honest (and slightly painful) audit.13:35 — How to Overcompensate, Vol. I: our attempt to recreate the “in-person energy” through chaos, caffeine, and questionable structure.15:02 — Questions as therapy: instead of a guest, we turn the mic on each other — guided by random prompts and listener curiosity.16:00 — If I were arrested… we guess each other’s hypothetical crimes (spoiler: aesthetic ones count).21:15 — If we started a cult… daily rituals, coffee devotion, and the invention of the “Ommm propio.”26:53 — If I forgot everything about myself… what the other would remind us — part sentimental, part roast.31:21 — What moment best sums up our friendship? nostalgia, chaos, and the art of growing up alongside someone who knows your every version.53:32 — TV & film corner: what we’re watching lately — from comfort shows to cinematic self-projection.1:08:29 — Books we’re reading (a few that we want to read): stories that mirror our own attempts at reinvention.1:18:27 — Music that’s keeping us functional: what’s playing in the background while we overthink, overwork, and overcompensate.1:25:05 — Closing: On bringing the Overcompensating tone back, the promise of our get together, and a very clumsy “Like and subscribe.”_🔔 Subscribe here on YouTube so you don’t miss the next one — and if this resonated, give it a like.🌐 Stay connected & follow The Overcompensating:📩 Newsletter on Substack: https://theovercompensating.substack.com📸 Instagram: @theovercompensating🎧 Spotify: The Overcompensating Podcast▶️ YouTube: The Overcompensating
