The Real Reason You’re Procrastinating

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 spiraling, and actually start doing the thing without making it a whole production.

The Exhaustion Of Controlling How You Are Perceived

In this episode, I’m talking about the exhaustion of constantly overthinking how people perceive us. From rewriting texts and overanalyzing conversations to treating captions like graded assignments, it’s exhausting trying to make sure we’re never misunderstood. I also share how I handled my first mean comment online, why it ended up being more corny than hurtful, and the random moment that gave me some much-needed perspective. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just send the text, post the photo, and stop over explaining yourself.

The Guilt of a Good Day

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 for problems and waiting for the other shoe to drop. In this episode, we talk about: -Why chaos can start to feel more familiar than peace “Anxiety debt” and the feeling that we always need something to stress about -How overthinking can ruin otherwise good moments -Learning how to trust calm instead of fearing it -Showing up imperfectly and giving yourself credit anyway I’m also sharing my three wins for the week, including being honest with my therapist and showing up to record this episode even when everything in my life doesn’t feel perfectly figured out. If you’ve ever struggled to enjoy a good day without overanalyzing it or preparing for it to fall apart, this episode is for you.

Growing Up and Figuring Out Who You Are Again

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 fine, and keep it going. But sometimes “fine” just means I haven’t sat with anything yet. I get into missing structure, feeling like I should be doing something but not knowing what, and how identity shifts from things like sports or dance into work, parenting, or other roles. And what happens when those start to change too. I also talk about learning to validate yourself, going back to things you used to love, and giving yourself space to just exist without needing a reason. If this resonates, I’d love to hear what your “thing” used to be and what it looks like now. New episodes every week.

Episode 3: Maybe Fixing You Was Never About You?

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. In this episode, I talk about these patterns of people-pleasing and how I see them reflected in reality TV stars like Heather Gay and Scheana Shay. I’m learning that real empathy might mean just listening rather than taking on responsibilities that aren't mine.  Join me as I break down the "fixer cycle" and share a weekly challenge to help you evaluate the advice you give to others. I'm still figuring this all out in real time, so I’d love for you to comment your thoughts and to share which reality stars you relate to most. Don't forget to actually take care of yourself, and DM me if you have a similar story and are interested in being a guest on the show!
