1. A New Path To Liberation

Overachiever's Oracle

Hey, I’m Dr. Giavanni Washington—your host and a recovered overachiever. If you’ve ever felt like no matter how much you achieve, it’s never enough—or you’ve found yourself exhausted even after checking every box—this podcast is for you.

I created The Overachievers Oracle as a sanctuary—a space where we break free from the myths of productivity and redefine success on our own terms. It’s where we reclaim rest as a revolutionary act, embrace joy as something we don’t have to earn, and remember that liberation is our birthright.

What I cover in this episode:

• The personal story that led me to create this podcast, including my journey through burnout despite my degrees, leadership roles, and achievements.
• The hard truth about how overachieving can strip us of rest, joy, and our sense of self.
• Why I built The Black Goddess Within Oracle Deck—a love letter to Black women and a reclamation of our divinity in spiritual spaces.
• The wake-up call that landed me in the hospital and forced me to finally prioritize my well-being.
• The collective liberation we’re building by rejecting the lie that our worth is defined by our work.

This podcast is more than a conversation—it’s a movement. Each week, I’ll share solo deep dives, stories that challenge the myths of productivity, and spiritual tools to help you shift from burnout to ease. My hope is that this space reminds you that you are already enough—not because of what you do, but simply because you are.

Rest is your birthright. Joy is your compass. Liberation is your inheritance. Welcome to The Overachievers Oracle.
