About Chronically, Over It
Welcome to Chronically, Over It—the place I stopped pretending.
What started as a quiet newsletter to say the things I couldn't say anywhere else has become a home for the girls with big feelings, soft hearts, and too many browser tabs open in their brain. It's a space for the ones unlearning urgency, redefining success, and finally realizing you don’t have to be fixed to be worth listening to.
Chronically, Over It is more than a newsletter—it’s also a podcast where I talk about the things we’re not supposed to say out loud. Like what it means to be a work in progress in a world obsessed with polish. Like what happens when you stop performing and start paying attention. Each episode is unscripted, deeply personal, and a little rebellious—like a long walk with your most emotionally intelligent friend.
Whether I'm writing or recording, the goal is the same: to offer honesty with backbone, softness with power, and permission to be exactly where you are without shame.
Who I Am
I’m Cait Pearson—a writer, photographer, former perfectionist, and forever-feeler who’s spent most of her life chasing the version of herself she thought would finally make sense to the world.
I have ADHD (and probably a touch of autism), which explains a lot about the way I process, write, create, and overthink. My brain takes the long way around—the scenic, road-less-traveled, if you will. lol I’m emotionally sensitive but deeply analytical. I see patterns in everything. I tend to live in parentheses, footnotes, and metaphors. And for years, I tried to tone that down.
Now? I’ve stopped apologizing for how I am and started building a life that works with my brain, not against it. I’m an external processor, I’m a 4/6 Projector, a Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon, Sag Rising, I’m an Italian, German girl from outside of Philadelphia (Go 🦅), I’m a huge fan and supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community and their rights, I believe none of us should feel safe until we all do, and I am enthusiastically hopeful.
And an important quote to tell you all you need to know really about the way I see the world.
“Impossibility is a thing that begs to be disproven. Perhaps it hasn’t been possible for years, perhaps it’s not even possible right now, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be. It doesn’t mean it won’t be.”
- V.E. Schwab’s A Gathering of Shadows (Darker Shade of Magic Series)
My background spans journalism, coaching, brand strategy, podcasting, photography, behavioral psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and years of internal implosions that cracked me wide open—and that’s what this space holds. Not expertise, but evidence. Not a roadmap, but a rhythm.
Who This Space Is For
This is for the girl who’s still figuring it out—but wants to do it honestly.
The one who’s tired of trying to fix herself and more interested in finally seeing herself clearly.
The ones who cry easily, speak in tangents, take the long way home, and know there’s more to life than chasing gold stars.
We’re not here to be better. We’re here to be real.
To reclaim softness in a world that keeps asking us to harden.
To trust our own timing.
To choose the brave thing—even when it’s quiet.
If that sounds like you, you’re already home.
About the Paid Tier: Soft Light and Wild Hearts
If you want to go deeper, there’s a paid tier called Soft Light and Wild Hearts.
It’s where I share the raw, real-time pieces I’m not ready to post publicly—journal-style dispatches, porchlight voice notes, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the rhythms and tools I use to stay soft in a sharp world.
There’s no pressure, no performance—just deeper access to the truth as I’m living it.
If the free posts resonate and you want to support the work, this is the best way to do that.
And if not? I’m still so glad you’re here.
We need softness. We need wild hearts. We need each other.
LASTLY, JUST FOR FUNSIES because if it’s not FUN I don’t fucking want it.
Fun facts about me because like, we’re best friends now.
I talk to myself and with my hands even when I’m alone.
My voice memos average 7 minutes and always start with “okay so…”
I’m fluent in metaphors and emotional plot twists.
I read a ton of books, and I’ve got RANGE.
Honorable mention currently: Throne of Glass Series (always), Prison Healer Series, and Comfort Crises by Michael Easter
My ideal weekend is a bookstore, a walk, a few glasses of red wine, a deep conversation and belly laughs, and a nap, preferably down by the river (come on, I had to, I live in a van for goodness sake.) 🙃🙃😆
I will cry over a song lyric. And then send it to you like it’s an emergency.
I can’t do small talk, but I will ask you what your soul’s been aching for lately.
Favorite question lately: “What do you think is missing out there?”
If you’re here, you’re basically already my friend. Welcome to the inner circle. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 I love you!
