Just Can't Help Myself Podcast's Podcast

Have you ever nodded through an explanation and then immediately thought ok I still have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to do? Just nodding along to confusing game rules, instructions, conversations? And once you've acted like you understand, admitting that you're lost, well that can be pretty awkward to admit. But I say we stop pretending, stop just nodding along, and start s...

Are we actually living our lives… or just documenting them for everyone else? In this episode of Just Can’t Help Myself, we’re talking about our obsession with turning every little moment into content. The screenshots, the aesthetic food pics, the videos of every night out… sometimes we get so focused on capturing the moment that we forget to actually enjoy it. Not every memory needs to be posted....

Hi guys, welcome back to Just Can't Help Myself! Have you ever had a genuinely nice thought about someone and then kept it completely to yourself?

We are diving deep into the magical connection between looking good on the outside and feeling amazin...

 had so much fun sitting down with Dominique and Emily from Mom O’Clock for this episode. These two are exactly the kind of people you can sit down with and immediately feel like you’ve known them forever.

In this episode of Just Can’t Help Myself, I’m talking about why leaving the house can sometimes feel like a full-blown production, even when I’m actually excited about where I’m going. The second I have plans, my brain starts coming up with excuses, overthinking what I’m going to wear, and somehow turning getting ready into a whole thing. I get into why the anticipation of leaving can feel way mo...

In this episode of Just Can’t Help Myself, I’m talking about how my approach to conflict and relationships has changed. I used to feel like every argument needed to be resolved immediately, and if it wasn’t, I would assume the relationship was falling apart.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Can't Help Myself! This week, I'm talking about something that's been on my mind after trying to plan a simple get-together with three of my closest childhood friends.

In this episode of Just Can't Help Myself, I talk about something I know so many people struggle with: making decisions. What started as a simple choice about picking a nail polish color made me realize how often I avoid making choices because I’m afraid of regretting them.

In this episode of Just Can't Help Myself, I share the story of how Vito and I got completely catfished by a New York City fireworks dinner cruise that looked nothing like the videos online.

After the chaos, I dive into a much bigge...

Ever wonder why we have a million ways to message each other, yet still feel so disconnected? In this episode of Just Can't Help Myself, I share a chaotic trip to Asbury Park featuring a parking lot toenail-clipper, a minor shoe-stealing scare, and my manager Ryan who took the funnest photos of me on the beach after dinner. But a surprisingly deep dinner conversation sparks a bigger realizati...

In today’s episode, I’m finally sitting down to share the real story behind why I started this podcast and what the title truly means to me.

In this episode, I am getting real about why receiving kindness, help, and genuine care can feel so incredibly uncomforta...

Have you ever felt like your life is stuck in a waiting room while everyone else seems to be moving forward? In this episode, I'm talking about what happens when we put our lives on hold while waiting for answers, opportunities, relationships, or clarity.

In this episode, I explore the difference between healthy boundaries and emotional walls. We talk about why "protecting your peace" can sometimes become emotional avoidance, how past experiences shape the way we connect with others, and why real boundaries require honest communication rather than distance.

Have you ever apologized for asking a question? For crying? For needing help? For literally existing? Because I know I have!

We get into people-pleasing, overthinking, awkward text message spirals, the pressure to keep everyone around us comfortable, and why s...

In this episode, I talk about that weird switch where one minute you’re insanely productive and the next you’re suddenly avoiding one single task like it personally attacked you. I break down why procrastination is really just anxiety, perfectionism, and mental overwhelm in disguise, and how it shows up in everyday habits without us even realizing it. I also share simple ways to get unstuck, stop...

In this episode, I’m talking about the exhaustion of constantly overthinking how people perceive us.

Why does peace feel so uncomfortable sometimes? In this episode, I’m opening up about something that’s been challenging me lately: even when life is good, my brain still feels like it’s waiting for something to go wrong. I had a genuinely great weekend. Good food, great company, and I even won at ping-pong, but I still couldn’t fully relax. Instead of enjoying the calm, I found myself searching fo...

In this episode, I’m talking about what it feels like when the thing that used to define you is no longer part of your life. When you’re younger, everything is structured. You have a role, a routine, and a clear sense of who you are. Then that ends, and no one really prepares you for how off it can feel after. Lately I’ve realized I don’t always process how I’m actually doing. I move on, say I’m f...

We often pride ourselves on being the person who "has it all handled," but there is a quiet exhaustion that comes with being too capable. In this episode, we explore the "I've Got It" trap. The reflex of taking on every responsibility until we’ve effectively trained everyone around us to stop offering help. I break down the 70% rule as a tool for letting go of control and...

Welcome back to Just Can't Help Myself, where I’m opening up about the uncomfortable reality of being a lifelong "fixer". I’ve realized that my instinct to jump in and solve everyone’s problems is often just an attempt to calm my own discomfort when seeing others struggle.
