Just Can't Help Myself Podcast's Podcast

In this episode of Just Can’t Help Myself I’m talking about overthinking, over explaining, and why knowing what might help doesn’t always make it easy to do it for ourselves. We’re getting into the three meanings behind the podcast title: I can’t help wanting to help others, sometimes I can’t seem to help myself, and I can’t JUST help myself.
